Satire or irony
“Their shutdown will leave each ringbearer unpowered, including all 7 dwarf lords, nine elderly men, now doomed to die, and even hobble the three elf-lords, putting vital mithril-delving and even tree-care programs for Ents at risk, and jeopardizing flood insurance for millions of Isengardians during the fallout from the rainy season in and around Helm’s Deep’s failing dam.”
Fully fictional Lord of the Rings parody of a shutdown press conference, dated 2025-10-01. The character 'Sauron' lists the harms the shutdown 'will' cause; it parodies real shutdown-day political messaging about lapsed programs.
Marked or evident satire, hyperbole or irony.
