at least the folks who run petitiononline.com seem to understand the truth.
They could print it in larger letters, though.
The very thought that there might actually be people stupid enough to BELIEVE this petition, though...
ignorant savages.

The only comfort, to me, is that the producers are certainly intelligent enough to completely ignore these illiterates.
Still, it's sickening that such ignorance exists, and takes such a classic literary reference so literally.

Speaking of "The Two Towers", I thought, when I read the whole series in November, that these two towers got surprisingly little attention in the book(s) they were named after.
Only once did I hear about them, Tolkien mentioned just that they were two towers built during the Last Alliance and that they formed the gateway to Mordor (becoming Carchost and Narchost, the Towers of the Teeth) and then that was that, no more screentime for them.
I failed to see why he bothered to name the book after them.

It's got to be a joke. No person could be that stupid. Well, maybe some, but...
Speaking of why the book "Two Towers" is named just that, Tolkien probably said, "Hmmm. I could name it 'Lord of the Rings 2: This Time It's Personal,' 'The Fellowship of the Ring that's not a Fellowship Anymore,' or 'The Two Towers.'"

I'm pissed off about the "Attack of the Clones" title too, with all of the controversy about that Italian threatening to clone a person isn't this title just a little offensive?

I'm sure there at least a few hardcore soccer moms on there that is taking it seriously. Perhaps want to make anther one about the ame of "Return of the King" because we all know that could mean the return of Christ.
