“THE TITLE IS clearly meant to refer to the attacks on The World Trade Center,” notes the petition posted at petitiononline.com and signed by more than 1,200 people. “It is unforgivable that this should be allowed to happen.”

Tolkien, that insensitive bastard! How dare a man who has been dead for 20 years, who wrote the book 50 years go, be so brazenly exploitive?

We should disband the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. The "Twin Cities" remind me of the Twin Towers of the WTC and it's awful that those two cities are trying to capitalize off of the Sept 11th disaster. I think Bud Selig can also use this as an additional argument to eliminate the Minnesota Twins from MLB.

Nifty, good point. If my wife and I have more kids and find out she's carrying twins we'll abort one because it would be too sad to remember 9-11 every time we looked at twins.

I'd find that pretty unoffensive anyhow

" The pair of buildings that are like towers, but are not twins and have nothing to do with New York."

Catchy title...I'd go with that.

Goes to show you protestors aren't always all that intelligent...

Speaking of women, Elfenwolf...

Every time I look at large chested women, I'm reminded of the twin towers. The way the breasts are symmetrically held into place by the bra and shirt just invokes too much pain. These women are exploiting the disaster for their own personal gains. To offset this, all smaller chested women should remove their shirts and bras, drawing our attention away from those evil women who use the tragedy as vehicle for their own devious plots.

(I dunno, as fun as that sounds, it just wasn't as good as the Twin Cities one...)

Nifty,I think we should outlaw breast implants out of respect for 9-11...or maybe only allow one breast to be enlarged.

Kieran, you're right. Those right wing whackos who are protesting are the same nuts who shoot abortion doctors and burn their clinics.

Er.... I think PC is pretty much liberal territory- try to get a redneck to say "African American".

Nobody in their right (or left) mind would lay claim to these knuckleheads.

Personally, I find "New York, New York" offensive since its twin use of the same name reminds me of the 9/11 events. It must be changed out of respect for all of those that live there.

That was a noble effort easymo.

Especially for one so melanin challenged and scarlet naped.
