Apologies for introducing a "non-joking" subject here, but I'll point out that there's another bit of "applicability" in that meme: the original photo was done for the sleeve for "The Unknown Soldier" 45, The Doors protest song from 1968:
And was meant to suggest crucifixion imagery. Both images have been applied to Frodo's role in LOTR.
On a personal note, I had that 45, and you sparked a memory from that time: a friend being drafted into the army, coming over to say goodbye, and playing that song over and over.
He survived, fortunately. Many didn’t.
