was this 'national newspaper' perchance The National Enquierer?

Yeah, I heard on the news that the press were saying the name was gonna be changed, but Peter Jackson said there is no way in the world he would change it...good on him I say!

It does sound a little like an 'Onion' type story!

If it were true, then it would be another example of 'Political Correctness' gone mad!

squire · 17th March 2002, 05:11 AM

Yeah, for sure!

skoon · 18th March 2002, 05:13 AM

I agre with all of the above. By the way which 2 does it refer to, there's one tower in Isengard which is the other that ...in Mordor?

Is there something to do with Minas Tirith and towers? I'm sure there was but i haven't read that bit in a long time
:flash:

were there two towers at the entrance to Mordor? That kind of sounds familiar. Or I could just be making it up

A petition has even been started to have them change the name claiming "...the title is clearly meant to refer to the attacks on the World Trade Center."
Here it is http://www.petitiononline.com/twotower/petition.html . (I have a feeling it's meant as a joke)

skoon · 8th May 2002, 04:46 PM

Are you suggesting that they should change it Shaun?

I for one won't sign

Shaun · 9th May 2002, 06:19 AM

No I'm not. I just thought I would post it. There is also another petition so that they don't change the name (not that they would, or should).

skoon · 9th May 2002, 06:14 PM

well why didn't you post that one then?

Shaun · 10th May 2002, 06:56 AM

Because I don't have a link nor do I think any petition will make a difference. I just posted the first one to show that people actually went and started a petition.

skoon · 10th May 2002, 04:48 PM

ahhh, gotchya

kelsi · 10th May 2002, 05:42 PM

You have?

skoon · 10th May 2002, 06:18 PM

Shaun & my brain seem to be on the same track...well at least when defacing image...
