One Ad To Rule Them All is a delightful tumblr blog by Valerio Amaro, a student at Miami Ad School Berlin, that answers this simple but intriguing question: “What would happen if fantasy author J.R.R. Tolkien worked in advertising?”

    Shame that copyright and sueing anything and everything is the norm…
