There's a petition (http://www.petitiononline.com/twotower/) protesting the next Lord Of The Rings movie. Apparently “The Two Towers” is an obvious reference to the World Trade Center, and is inappropriate and offensive.

My personal favorite:
1146. cathy clinton - i pray every day that mr jackson will see the light and pull the plug on this project. Mr Tolkien if that is his indead his real name does not seem to be a very christian person to be so cynically cashing in on this tragedy.These people don’t stop to think that maybe things are older than their memory, or that the whole world does not revolve around their little urban area. The thing that frightens me the most is, if these people are serious, they can also VOTE!!!

The unenlightened leading the uninformed.

Peace.

Those crazy bastards, you know that if they changed the name it would actually draw more attention than there was in the first place. I think I speak for Peter Jackson when I say:

"Croicky!"

It appears that word is spreading.
The number of sarcastic entries is growing:
1198. Falseen T. Ryvoided - I made my wife have a breast reduction because her breasts always reminded me of the Two Towers
1207. Bill Clinton - I agree, America. When I'm f*cking my twin interns I shed a tear for 9/11
Peace.

Yeah, I had my genital size reduced too (sarcasm, sarcasm here!!!) because it reminded me of just the one world trade center building standing up....

You mean your joking about how it reminded you...?

No I was serious. A little martian appeared on my keyboard and typed the sarcasm thing, little buggers are fast. So just ignore it like you already have.

My goodness, typical! Thought it were the Twin Towers. So, every time two "objects" of the same size show up, it reminds the "good" americans of the WTC attacks? Oh well, you can overdo it... What a stupidity... :p

Obviously they don't know that Tolkien is resting in peace for quite some time now.

Hahaha.... :D

Yes, we are pretty wild over here, us silly americans. But our country is the best so be careful!!

Mind you, I'm of the opinion that these people are insanely stupid, especially the petition note included in the topic sentence. But the breast reduction and the Clinton bit advise me that maybe I should sign this petition.

So I propose that we all truck over and sign off with equally-ridiculous measures. Everyone's got a spambox, right? Use that instead of your real e-mail.

But sure, make this petition out to be as ridiculous as possible. Lend your efforts to protecting it. Fellowship didn't thrill me greatly, but I'm not going to stop them from producing more. So the best thing to do might be to undermine the petition with such entries as the "Clinton" signature.

I'm in.

Anyone? Anyone?

Edit: Of course, if I'd even bothered to look at the petition, I would have seen the proclamation:

(T)his petition has been suspended temporarily due to a lack of maintenance by the petition author.

Oh, well ... a day late, a penny short.

:D,
Tiassa :cool:

I hate people. People suck.

Well i have to say that i really feel sorry for anyone who lost someone in 11/9 but this is ridiculas

Tolken probably died before they BUILD the twin towers

The book was definitly writen before they built them and how DARE they expect the name changed

GOD PEOPLE ARE STUPID

adams right: people suck

Well... one of my co-workers was hit by a car today.
All I could do was watch helplessly as she passed away.

Couldn't dial 911 for help. :D


Peace.

Guess they have to make a re-make from all the movies that already excist and are located in New York too, with always a camera-shot of the Twin Towers. No more watching of old movies, made before Sept. 11 2001... :( :bugeye:

Sorry folks, this ranks alongside manbeef.com. A superb troll.

AND LETTING OUT A HORRIFIC SCREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


How stupid can people get, idiots, idiots, idiots. :confused:

(Cactus going into catatonic shock, he just couldn't take it anymore)

Sheeze, some people's kids. I find it hard to stomach these overly good americans, If this petition is real, what do they hope to do? Actually force Peter Jackson to change the name? Who are they kidding, why are these bozos even attracting and kind of real attention?
If I hear one more person tell me how offended they are at something so inane, I'm going to start hurting people....

I am really offended that you would threaten to hurt people...

It's not just LOTR:
I, too, was galled, shocked and disoriented upon learning of the cynically crass title of Mr. Jackson's new film. I would also like to start a petition to rename Steven Spielberg's "Minority Report" because of its blatant insult to people of color. Also, the upcoming film "About A Boy" is a clear endorsement of pedophilia. I am also deeple troubled at the subtitle of the new "Star Wars" installement, "Attack of the Clones." This scandalous title is a none-too-subtle implication that scientifically duplicated humans or other animals are violent and hostile in nature -- clearly an affront to copied citizens everywhere. We shall make no progress until Hollywood stems its insensitivity to those factions of society it chooses not to understand. As an avid filmgoer, I shall shed many tears until these senseless titles cease.

What do you suppose it's like to be "deeple" something?

You'll never know 'cause you're a GIRL!!!

We must
Stop the Stupiduty! (http://www.petitiononline.com/STS/petition.html) Thank you.

this is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Since september 11th, absolutely anything to do with large buildings, bombs, terrorism, and the middle east has become "offensive" and should be banned. When is all this crap gonna be dropped. Who cares if it has the same name? Why would anyone who was sensitive to the subject even care?

Wasnt LOTR witten way backin the 60s? Before the trade towers even got built? I just signed the Two Towers petition in a not so nice way.;)

Angelus, looks like we are the minority. 4 replies, no wander Bush is in power :rolleyes:

Anyway, you couldn't even mention anything that remotly reminded people about the 9/11 incident.

You can't even talk about the Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpa and how jazzy they look without people having a go at you.

When will the madness stop :confused:

When will the madness stop

Thunder God! We should create our own planet! We can have a whole simpsons channel. We can fill it with hot chicks, pizza, and any kind of alcohol!

*EDIT*

Dude, where have you been. I don't like LOTR. No guns you see, look at the thread below

Okay thor sorry, I went back and changed it!:D

Thats better. Still gonna see the new one though


hot chicks

Deal


pizza

I'm there


any kind of alcohol

Well, you already had me at chicks and pizza, but any kind of Coke is a bonus

We have some serious blueprints for a fully funtioning planet

Yeah! And we can make pigmonkeys to!:D

And it rains coffee! Okay maybe not that would hurt.

How about making it rain Pigmonkeys?

ok i signed

stop them all

Thor if it rained Pigmonkeys then it could hurt or even kill many of our hot chicks.

Some people wanted Porsche to change the modelname for Porsche 911 to something 'less offensive' aswell. Now that's sad.

Someone has even said here, 911 emergancy calls will be the next to go :rolleyes:

I guess i shoudn't call me new novel "The Terrorists Who Forced the Big Plane to Crash into New York" Damn!

Behold the idiocy of mankind.;)
