I am furious. We just came this close to having another Sauron running around, and it’s all due to the stupidity of one Ian McKellen, who went on Sesame Street and just casually flashed the One Ring around like it was a new watch or something. He even dared Cookie Monster to try it on, which is just straight fucked up.

What the fuck, Ian? That’s the most irresponsible thing I’ve ever seen. Do you see Obama bragging about the nuclear launch codes on The Daily Show? No. Because that would be irresponsible. We could’ve seen Cookie Monster transformed into an ageless tyrant whose armies lay waste to nations. Is that what you want, Ian McKellen. Is it.
