I had a few questions regarding your protest, if it is in fact serious.

Firstly, I would like to ask why the protest has not yet been expanded to include having 911 as the national number to dial for emergencies? That, too, could bring back haunting memories of the tragic day that was September 11, 2001.

Secondly, I am curious as to what evidence you have showing that New Line Cinema and Peter Jackson knew about the September 11 attacks ahead of time? If you are going to imply they are guilty of such damning knowledge, I would assume that there is evidence pointing to this. And yes, you are implying they knew this, since the title of the movie (of all three movies in the trilogy, actually) "Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" was decided well before September 11, 2001. By making the claim that "the movie is intentionally being named The Two Towers in order to capitalize on the tragedy of September 11" you clearly are stating that since the name of the movie was chosen WELL BEFORE that tragic day, then those involved in the process of selecting the name must have had specific knowledge of the imminent attack including where it would occur, as well as the date.

Thirdly, since your argument of the title being a form of HATE speech does not hold water, what IS your argument against the subject of free speech and the rights of the creators to keep true to Tolkien's original title?

Fourthly, what are the benefits to the name being changed? What proof do you have these benefits actually would occur if the title of the movie were to be changed? I do realise you gave one benefit in your web site's FAQ, but that is only one of "various benefits." I would like to know what others exist, as well as why the one benefit on your site is so important.

I am very anxious to receive your reply. Personally, I feel that such a protest is an extremely immature knee-jerk reaction to something reminding you of a completely unrelated bad memory. Also, to expect the government to step in and force a change of the name is an example of extreme ignorance as to how our government works.

I KNOW you have nothing better to do, so why not just read the damned site. I think it took me a maximum of like 5 minutes to read all of the content.

Basically, they claim that New Line Cinema and Peter Jackson are deliberately playing off the 9/11 attack on the WTC by using the title "The Two Towers."

The TWIN towers is a commonly used name for ALL tall similar tower-shaped buildings in the world. ie. Twin Petronas Towers.

Why does 99 fucking percent of the Americans think they're pointed to/at(?) in the works of every freaking artist in the world?
