    I'm sure you've probably heard about this by now, but you might not have seen this hilarious/awesome video that's going around. The lady the camera throws to now and then authored the bill.

    About ****ing time! Frodo and Sam can finally tie the knot. Tolkien fans everywhere are dancing in the streets.

    I am stunned by viral this has gone. It funny to hear people in other countries saying things about New Zealand politics.

    Drew, are you seriously suggesting that Sam should leave Rosie and the kids to fend for themselves while he goes swanning off to Valinor with Frodo? Shame on you! :p

    Well of course there would not have been a Rosie and the kids if this bill had been passed earlier.:rolling:

    Good speech by the fellow, I don't think anyone in our parliament could have made a funny speech like that.

    But is same-sex marriage still a big deal elsewhere? I must admit I have no idea in how many countries it is actually allowed at the moment. I just looked it up, but it's been allowed in the Netherlands since 2001 already.

    They call them beards for a reason. You can shave them off when they no longer serve their purpose. The laws in New Zealand have changed, so Samwise no longer needs to live a lie.

    Someone should do some art of Sam and Frodo expressing their emotions. Then it can be stifled by the copyright holder just like the Batman and Robin drawings (paintings?) were.
