These people are actually organizing a protest against the name of the second volume of The Lord of the Rings. Message boards can be very powerful so this cannot be taken lightly. These peopel actually believe that Peter Jackson named the movie the Two Towers in order to capitalize on the events of 9/11 to make more money for the movie. Completely disregarding the fact that this was the original title given to the book by J.R.R. Tolkein himself. You can email these idiots at
twotowersprotest@twotowersprotest.org

I happen to live less then 15 miles away from where the WTC was attacked. Because of that I can tell you what cooked flesh smells like. I woke up that morning to watch the towers fall and I have to say that I will live with that forever. It infuriates me to see a group of people use that just to get 15 minuetes of fame for themselves. I'm disgusted by what that site is trying to do. Please protest against this and don't fail to mention that they can very easily be sued for slander.

I had already been to that site before. I still don't get how the can compare the Two towers in LOTR to WTC.:confused:

Well, the deranged individual that started this petition, didn't get his way after all. It only makes sense, since the book was written in 1957 and the WTC constructed in 1973.

I never knew Tolkien to be a psychic as well. ;)

I'm not emailing those idiots. It's pointless. They think TheTwoTowers is named after the World Trade Center when the book was written in the 1950s. COME ON People! Cripes, this is so pathetic. It's like that guy trying to remove "Under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance. Honestly, what is America coming to??? :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
