LOTR - The dangers of M.Doom


Found and freely edited from PatriotResource.com
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
You're more than welcome to edit the analogy and enhance it! Don't take it too serious, it's just another overtired student having 5 minutes of fun (tooooo lazy to check details). So fill the gaps and I'll modify :D

Mount Doom (MyDoom):
...is located in Mordor (www). It is where Sauron (Bill G.) forged the One Ring (Windows - one OS to rule them all, one OS to find them, One OS to bring them all and in the darkness bind them). He used it to control the nine Rings (PCs) Given to Men, whose bearers became the Nazgûl (PC addicted Nerds of the dark side). It also controlled the seven Dwarven Rings (smaller competitors), but the Dwarves (rebellic future Unix/Linux/Mac users) proved resistant to magic. The three Elven Rings (young Unix/Linux/Mac shoots?) were removed and hidden to prevent him from corrupting them.
At the end of the Second Age (1985?), an Alliance of Elves and Men (Linux&Mac) besieged Mordor on the Gorgoroth Plains (IT business, civilized world) . The One Ring was cut from Sauron's finger at the Battle of Dagorlad (lawsuit/computer store) by Isildur (law/customer/user). Isildur was then led to the Cracks of Doom in Mt. Doom by Elrond (Steve Jobs? Apple store salesman?) , but Isildur (hooked user) refused to cast the Ring (Win PC) into the fire and instead kept it as a family heirloom. The Ring (WinOS) then betrayed [*repeated crashing & data loss*] Isildur (User) at Gladden Fields (@home&@work). It became known as Isildur's Bane and as time passed, many even forgot its evil nature (that's why they keep buying them). Mt. Doom is where Frodo (cognitive user) must now take the Ring to destroy it. (picturing Karl throwing PC down the stairs). Here, 'MyDoom' works as independent assassin, knowing that Frodo (user tempted by familiarity) doesn't get it done anyway.
