The creators of the movie have free speech, so what makes you think they should have to change the name of the movie?

We believe that Peter Jackson and New Line Cinema's actions are in fact hate speech. The movie is intentionally being named The Two Towers in order to capitalize on the tragedy of September 11. Clearly, you cannot deny the fact that this falls under hate speech. We believe that if they will not willingly change the name, the government should step in to stop the movie's production or to force a name change.

Do they realize that the second book is named "The Two Towers" and was published more than 50 years before the events on 9-11? It must be a nostradomos attempt at hate speach!

Some people just are not worth the air they breathe.

[EDIT] toned it down some.

e-mail sent to them:

I'm hurt and offended by your use of the word combination "twotowers" in both your url (www.twotowersprotest.org) and in the name of your organization. It brings to mind memories of the events of 9/11/2001 and I would like to ask you to change both your url and the name of your organization. I feel that not only is it in poor taste to name your organization that, but it may also qualify as hate speech under recent laws which in no way have a chilling effect on free speech.

If you are unable or unwilling to comply with my request, I will be forced to start a petition and a phone tree to contact my representatives in the government to force compliance.

***followed by some other ramblings about looking up the copyright date of the books versus the date of construction of the trade center etc etc etc***

personnaly, I think the website is a hoax, sorta like that pets for food website that got people all uppity awhile ago. I highly doubt they are serious at all.

Eager Val'Sharess · 12-18-2002, 05:13 PM

Pretty funny, Shazai

Eomer · 12-18-2002, 08:34 PM

I dunno Zurren, people were starting petitions at that petition online website as well, don't put stupidity past people, you will be sadly surprised :/

Ritkhan · 12-22-2002, 10:55 PM

people like that are a waste of skin

Fender · 12-23-2002, 12:54 AM

Gotta be a hoax....it just has to be.

I can't stand the thought of that being real...and the people behind it reproducing and adding more slop to the gene pool

I can't click on that link, the spelling of the url reminds me of the attacks.

Thorpe · 12-23-2002, 08:52 PM

If I'm not mistaken, the books were published before the towers were built.

I have a hard time believing this to be legitimate. =)
