Should have explained why not really. OK: The Spider-man argument made sense. I agree with that. Actually seeing the towers would possiblt bring back bad memories, the renaming of a classic novel to me just seems ludicrous. Removing images of the Towers from every film seems ridiculous. It's like they're trying to say it didn't exist. You can buy postcards, in New York, that have the plane hitting the tower! That's insensitive in my opinion. I can't understand why renaming the film would make a difference. If they did there'd be a fuss and everyone knows the name already.

oh come on jonesy. what they want is plain old censorship, and that's bad. do they also want to rename the book as well? or maybe remove every reference to any two towers in every book, film, cd etc.?
I think the question should be: how paranoid can you be? "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."
right.

Yep, obviously Tolkien was a visonary far in advance of Nostradamus etc. and hinted at the tradgey by nameing his book the twin towers years ago... ;)
Why are people so bloody sensative? Personally I think changing the name & the whole furore relating to it would be more insensitive and stir up more bad memories :)

They should also change that film Towering Inferno with Steve McQueen and Paul Newman. Its even more insensitive.

I think each of you should e-mail twotowersprotest@twotowersprotest.org and have your say why you think it's a stupid idea. Jonesy could just have fun fucking with their heads I'd bet too. If we get any replies we could post them here.

They must get loads of e-mails though. I bet there's a stock reply about hating Americans and being a Nazi or something. The best website to e-mail is the KKK one. Tell them you want to join but that they're racist for not allowing english people to join. The replies you get are hilarious.

They'll be selling T-Shirts soon. Or a DVD with commentary by Steve Guttenbur or Brian Dennehey. Official pieces of rubble to buy etc. You pay extra for bloodstains. They really could be that hypocritical.

I said that before...call it the TWO UNMENTIONABLES and by the same logic the Sears Tower would become the Sears UNMENTIONALBLE and the Eifel Tower shall be Eifel UNMENTIONABLE etc etc...
all the phallic allegories can hence forth safely be applied in security of this consequence:)

Allah is often refered to as, "He who cannot be seen". Due to the censorship around the twin towers it was cut from a load of games/films- we're not allowed to see it. The fact that it was destroyed by islamic fundamentalists (or at lest the popularist press would have us believe) further compounds the hilarity...

behold the power of idiots in large numbers........
this is sad, you're petitioning to remove free speech, and think the government should censor what we say. Easily the most disturbing site I've ever seen on the internet.
rotten.com, consumptionjunction.com, all those sites PALE in comparision to the horrors I have beheld on your site.
The day you people call yourselves Americans, is when we fully realize that terrorists have beaten us :(
