The Dumbest Protest of the Year

You know that “low-budget” Hollywood film called The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers? Well, it’s under-fire on a Two Towers protest site for being insensitive toward the tragic event of September 11th. That’s right, Two Towers must be an allusion to the World Trade Center towers. This claim is simply ludacrious. The people running this web site should be flamed so badly that they get 500 e-mails a day until their ISPs shut down their accounts.

Okay, yes, September 11th was tragic. I think most people agree with that, but to claim that a book written long before Osama and his minions learned how to fly is somehow related to the event is garbage.

There is a quote on the web site that just cracks me up. Here goes:

“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.”

You people can’t be serious. Please tell me you’re not serious. This web site has to be shut down for the sake of humanity.

o my goodness!!! thats sooo absurd! i didn’t even think about the twin towers when i saw the movie…some people just try to find an excuse for their cause in anything!

yes it was an awesome movie by the way :)
