In The Lord of the Rings, J. R. R. Tolkien drew upon the language and themes found in the old Medieval hero-tales in order to construct a kind of new mythology. The brilliance of Tolkien was in his departure from the Pagan modes of conduct and morality of these old tales, his creation of a syncretistic fusion between Christian thought and Pagan language, and so his work achieved a deep resonance with all who read it.
We find this passage at the conclusion of The Return of the King:
The Dark Lord was suddenly aware of him, and his Eye piercing all shadows looked across the plain to the door that he had made; and the magnitude of his own folly was revealed to him in a blinding flash, and all the devices of his enemies were at last laid bare.
Adversaries in the stories that Tolkien drew upon, Grendel, Mordred and the like, often served as obstacles that the heroes could overcome through feats of strength and cunning. Sauron is not like them. When Sauron is defeated, it is not because Aragorn is stronger than him or because Gandalf is wiser. They are not. It is only that his hubris was so great that it never occured to him that anyone would want to destroy the thing he held so dear. It is not until the final few seconds of his existence that he realises his mistake.
I think that I Am Jazz displays a similar moment. In the pictured scene, Jazz's journey to what he believes is womanhood is almost complete. He is resting after surgery, a triumphant smile on his face, his rotting groin held together by a labyrinthine patchwork of stitches and grafts. But as Eru Ilúvatar nudged Gollum over the Crack of Doom into the fires beneath, so too does the God of our world intervene in this.
Pop!
In a second, the follies of men are undone and Jazz's crotch explodes, a meaty froth of blood and pus pouring out of the hole where his penis used to be.
I'm still getting messages and pms. You'd think the waitresses are giving lap dances and handjobs based on the reactions people are having to someone not being outraged about women in tank tops.
They’re puritans. Complete puritans. It’s a good restaurant and the women do it themselves. But gasp the women are being ogled at! Finding a woman attractive is now sexist
As I've been told at least 4 times now, it's not about the outfit it's about them being objectified and how that will ruin these boys.
Children are apparently smart enough to tell the difference between a Hooters waitress and a women in a g-string at the beach but also too stupid to understand that same difference if their parents explained it to them.

In that moment of blind panic and terror, Jazz is Sauron. All triumph and victory is gone. Only the Void remains.

I am simultaneously orgasming and vomiting. Thanks, Snappy... I guess.

If your dad never taught you how to respectfully state your desire to cut, he failed you as a parent.

SRD: The sexual liberation age is upon us! It's sexy time!
Also SRD: Did you know that some places allow breasts to be partially uncovered? faints
