I love the internet. Here is a quotation:
“Those of us who have seen The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring know what an amazing director Peter Jackson is. When I learned that there apparently was to be a sequel, I was overjoyed. However, 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. Hopefully, when Peter Jackson and, more importantly, New Line Cinema see the number of signatures on this petition, the title will be changed to something a little more sensitive.”
BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA
Makes me wish I could petition stupidity.
I saw that a week or two ago, and i couldn’t tell if it was a joke or not. I have a feeling that it really is just a joke.
Last time i checked, it was like 1% of the people who signed it agreed, and like 99% thought it was stupid, leaving bad names, etc.
But some of the responses are pretty funny, like this one:
“they have no sensitivity, i wont even let my two twin kids stand next to each other out of respect for 9/11.”
Since you posted this, 2000+ more signatures have appeared. You have quite the audience!
Somehow I don’t think it was me… :)
