Well, I guess it IS, kinda, a return of the Ring...
You should not feel angry, rather sad for these poor unfortunates and their lack of understanding. Poor devils...

my wallet bleeds.... 
because of rotk hitting the screens next month, a lot of promo has been done around here - including this special 'battle an uruk-hai' contest for subscribers to a certain cellphone network. i find it interesting that uruk-hais are sporting enough to participate in such public-oriented events. then again, they might just be out to lunch.

And the amount of philistines keep increasing. I read a bit about ROTK somewhere; and it said that Saruman isn't in the book of RotK!!!

it's an uruk-hai conspiracy! they probably got disgruntled, and are now trying to have him written off!

That's pretty likely. Or it was Sauron who got upset that Saruman wanted the One ring for himself!
