Oh God.. how utterly pathetic.. but this is what I believe in. that's what they believe in... I live by my motto... oh well... just understand them..

I'm sorry but I laughed at this, I mean no disrespect to the horrible events of September the 11th in any way, no. My laughter is directed against the idiots who made this petition and anyone who signed it! OMG how can someone be so idiotic as to connect the title of a almost 50 year old book with the events that occured a little over 8 months ago. Honestly did you ever think of the events when you heard of the title, no I doubt you did.
That was pointless and uneccesary criticism on their part and if anything they are the ones who are going to stir up the emotions that many people felt on the day again. Fools.

That is truly pathetic.

sigh,I'd like to talk to the guys who started this and get some sort of a feel where where their brains are at... this is soo "out there" that I can only imagine that they're a bunch of flakes.

That really is stupid. What digs at me is, did no one point this out to him? And if so, why did he refuse to change it?

Ignorance can be deadly when combined with political correctness. Another example is the word "niggardly". This word has a completely different meaning than the racial slur and has been around since the 14th century. It doesn't even have roots in the same language. The racial slur has roots from the latin "niger" which literally means the color black. "Niggardly" is believed to have roots in Norse. It means miserly. Regardless, people have been fired over the use of this word because it was heard as a racial slur! What's worse is most people won't believe the true definition if you told them. The "N" word similarity is just too strong to overcome easily and people hear what they want to hear.

Next they'll be wanting to change 'return of the King' because they feel it insults elvis fans!

Nice one, Sunden, welcome to IW BTW [img]graemlins/happywave.gif[/img]

I did. almost every single one is making fun of the jackass who put this petition up!

No I haven't maybe I should try that though. Everyone here knows the *real* reason they won't disclose any email addresses. ;)

LOL, good one Sunden, I hope you enjoy your stay at IW.
P.S, look up Deathkuiller if you want a sig, or any other of our talented artists here! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Welcome to IW Sunden, that was hilarious... [img]smile.gif[/img]

At first I couldn't believe this, then I thought it was a joke... nbow I feel pity (for the poor fool, it's not easy being a retard...)and disgust.

I think that you can - there is a Name of the original petitioner - and when you click it you can send him an e-mail [img]graemlins/rant.gif[/img]

I didn't bother though - this is (as have already been stated here) pathetic. [img]graemlins/nono.gif[/img]

P.S. BTW Sir Kernyth - the word niggard does indeed originate in the Old-Nordic language - and I have also heard about the firing (a civil servent in Washington D.C.)

Some gems from the signature list:

I think we should boycott KFC for there tower burger as well. And destroy anything that rises above 10ft

I am utterly shocked by the producer's decision to use the name "two towers," as it is clearly a reference to the WTC. I am burning all my Tolkien books.

they have no sensitivity, i wont even let my two twin kids stand next to each other out of respect for 9/11

I wonder if the author even realises that people aren't gonna take it seriously?

Here are two more:
"A subscription has been entered in your name to the Clue of the Month Club." -Agnes

"Won't somebody think of the children?" -Sam Jackson

"Yes! Stop the film! Maybe then I can have my precious back..." Bilbo Baggins
:D

What!? This Is Worse Than Stupidity... This Is Down Right Ignorance!

I Think Also That The 3rd One Should Be Renamed... It's Very Obviously Meant To Relate To Elvis' Death And How He Died... Very Offensive!!

But Seriously... I Feel Ashamed To Be A Human...

There were 1242 signatures in that petition...around 1222 of them are mocking the guy and out of the remaining twenty that are no longer considered void about only 5 seem to be serious.

He's going to start a new one apparently, I wonder why?
My personal favourite is "THOSE INSENSITIVE -edit-. THE ATTACKS ON SEPTEMBER 11 HAVE AFFECTED ME VERY DEEPLY. IF THIS -edit- IS ALLOWED TO KEEP THIS TITLE, I WILL KICK MYSELF. JESUS CHRIST, I STILL CANT LOOK AT THE NUMBER 11 WITH OUT CRYING. SEE, I'M CRYING RIGHT NOW. I'M ALSO TO AFRAID TO CALL THE POLICE. THEIR NUMBER (WHICH I WILL NAME XXX FOR NOW) SCARES ME, IF I WAS IN AN EMERGANCY, I WOULD NOT DIAL XXX FOR FEAR OF FARTHER RETALIATION FROM THOSE SCARY TERRORISTS. PLEASE TAKE THESE CORPORATE -edit- DOWN FOR EXPLOITING THE STILL OPEN WOUNDS OF PATRIOTIC AMERICANS EVERYWHERE. LONG LIVE THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD, WHICH I LIVE, AND WOULD DIE FOR. AMERICA!!!! w00t! ps. please save my internet access :D "

I Know, Absolutly No-one Agrees, (I Bet He Lived With His Mother Until He Was 40.. Betcha!)

My Fave: TOLKIEN WAS A PROFIT, HE PREDICTED WTC BOMBING 47 YEARS BEFORE THE FACT, AND THE THIRD MOVIE IS RETURN OF THE KING. JESUS IS COMING BACK YOU HAD BETTER RECOGNIZE

Whats With All The: False Entry Voided??? ;)

I did one a while ago too... man that guys stupid.

Probably when the author read them and realised they were not actual for his cause. Or when the languange got so bad the people who ran the petition board shut it down.

i don't know if the guy is dumb or not,but he is damn sure overly sensitive. :D

This is one of the most stupid things i ever seen.
This is Pathetic, my god, how can some one be so ignorant.
those people are not normal, they need treatment.

Aeternus Equilibrium.

They probably won't change the title, since also that Tolkeins novel has been known for it... and it was published even before the twin babies were born!!!

Now, I am sure they will attempt to boycott, but then no, I wouldn't myself. They can screw themselves...

What I have heard, is that that's why Spider Man has been delayed (I think it's showing should have been at March) is because they had to remove the WTC... or lest they face charges... err is this true?

"The name of the book is The Two Towers, The WTC is The Twin Towers. The book is about two different towers, where the twin towers were identical. The book is about the sad struggle to rise above evil. What happened that day at the Twin Towers is just sad and evil. Some people just dont get it and/or cant get over it. Its sad. I reccomend therapy if you are hurting that bad. Whats next? a petition to change the name of the freakin book?"

I'm sorry, but that website really p155ed me off. Can you imagine what the fans would do if he changed the name?

Me to, how can they even think about changing the name, the name The Two Towers can not be changed, and it wont be changed.
And I dont even want to imagine what the fans would do; it would not be pretty.

Aeternus Equilibrium

i thought it was filmed after 9/11...but it doesnt really matter, its retarded to make them take that out of the movie

and on that web site, i thought it was funny...in a sick sort of way [img]smile.gif[/img]

The guy who wrote this is a real @$$.
Long live AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[img]graemlins/usa.gif[/img]

Okay I read my post and i ment the guy who wrote the petition is an @$$ not the guy who wrote the thread.

LOL SomeGuy...I think we knew that you meant the petition-guy! ;)

Seriously...that person needs some serious professional help. Very sad case.

-Sazerac

This is so ridiculuos i can't say anything more than the guy who thoguht up the petition was probably just looking for something to petition. or he's a retarded jerk with no friends. either way they ain't gonna chainge the name i wouldnt of thought.

OK... so they start this off saying its NOT a bad thing... AND THEN:

...You guys just went back on the very thing that you JUST said! Repugnant? Wooh these guys must've had a Thesaurus [img]tongue.gif[/img]



Not only is this thing's purpose Redundant, but the title is too!

:D We have reached an all-time low people...

Here's the worst part:

/)eathkiller, The first paragraph was written by the board organizers, while the second was by the guy who set up the petition.

And now the petition is offline because on lack of maintenance by the organizers. SO not only is the guy a retard, hes a lazy retard.

Sometimes you just have to laugh.

Actually Deathcow, they were all filmed in one period and before 11/9 it's just they're being really cruel to us and releasing them each a year apart :(
Deathkiller, there were a lot of signatures, but if you read them they're pretty much all taking the piss out of the guy, so [img]tongue.gif[/img] to him!!
