The Idiots Who made this thing:
The title was thus established some 47 years prior to the attacks on the World Trade Center towers, and there is no evidence to suggest that Peter Jackson meant anything by continuing the same title other than faithfulness to the beloved Tolkien classics. Furthermore, the two distant, opposing towers in the Tolkien classic have very little if anything in common with the two matching towers of the World Trade Center.
OK... so they start this off saying its NOT a bad thing... AND THEN:

Quote:
The Idiots Who made this thing:
Peter Jackson has decided to tastelessly name the sequel "The Two Towers". The title is clearly meant to refer to the attacks on the World Trade Center. In this post-September 11 world, it is unforgiveable that this should be allowed to happen. The idea is both offensive and morally repugnant.
...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]

Quote:
The Idiots again:
Rename "The Two Towers" to Something Less Offensive Petition Petition


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

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

Here's the worst part:

3583 Total Signatures

/)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!!
