WTF?

I am so unspeakably outraged by this that I really don't know where to begin. I'm going to respond to a few statements of theirs.

The Two Towers Protest Organization ... is made up of a group of like minded individuals who were greatly affected by the events that transpired on Sept 11th 2001.

Ah, then I suppose, since I am not a member of your club, that I was not greatly affected by "the events that transpired on Sept 11th 2001." Suck it.

The Spiderman movie which was released in 2002 had the images of the two towers removed from the movie. This sentiment was greatly appreciated by the Two Towers Protest Organization.

I guess that the TTPO wants any memory of the World Trade Center stricken from history books and films. God forbid anyone remember that it actually existed.

We would like to see this kind of sentiment put towards the renaming of "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" to something which would be more appropriate considering the events which transpired on Sept 11th 2001. The name of this movie will undoubtedly cause a return of the emotions felt on Sept 11th which left so many people in the nation feeling stunned and in a state of shock.

How about calling it "The Lord of the Rings: Isengard and Barad Dur?" Is that OK with you? Or maybe "The Lord of the Rings: This movie is not about the World Trade Center, Fucktard" would be more acceptable?

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.

!!! [falls off chair]

I am absolutely speechless. It doesn't happen often. This must be some kind of sick joke.
