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!

Question

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

Thumbs down

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)

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).

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.
