Subject: RE: BS: Starbucks 'Collapse' ad: PC or not PC?
You're kidding... Somebody out there actually wants to change the title of Tolkien's "The Two Towers" for the movie, even though that's been the title of the book since 1954???... Omigod, you're not kidding. I just checked Google, and here it is: http://www.petitiononline.com/twotower/

Unbelievable. The petition actually says "The title is clearly meant to refer to the attacks on the World Trade Center". What idiot wrote that??? Hah, probably the same idiot who named it the "Rename 'The Two Towers' to Something Less Offensive Petition Petition", which of course means that anyone signing it has to agree that "I have read the Rename 'The Two Towers' to Something Less Offensive Petition Petition Petition".

Well, at least there's a notice that says "This petition has been suspended temporarily due to a lack of maintenance by the petition author." Either he lost interest, or he walked into a tree and knocked himself out.
