So am I the only person who finds this funny?
Seriously, the person who started this either needs help or is the best public joke player ever!
The bit that really cracks me up is this:
Quote:
The creators of the movie have free speech, so what makes you think they should have to change the name of the movie?

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

the funny bit being:

And the thing is, they are absolutely right! PJ named TTT TTT not because
  • He really loves Tolkien and has done from an early age
  • The book bearing that name was written 50 years ago

No, he just decided to cash in on a tragedy.
PJ! How self-centred of you!

Oh, by the way I was being sarcastic.
