Republican Committee Confuses 'Game of Thrones' With 'Lord of the Rings' in Parody Web Game

[Yavin4]

The parody game targets four Democratic congressional candidates, each of whom the committee has assigned a noble house name, all presided over by "the Kingdom of Pelosi," a.k.a House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. All four are running for the seat currently held by Republican Gary Mille in California's 31st congressional district.

Liberal website Think Progress has already published a takedown of the parody game, pointing out that the maps drawn by the NRCC look a lot more like Middle Earth from J.R.R. Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" than the world created by George R.R. Martin for his "A Song of Ice and Fire" series, the basis for "Game of Thrones.
