    I'm sure most of you will recall the petition to have the second lord of
    the
    rings film renamed after the WTC disaster. Well here are some choice quotes
    from that petition.

    818. C. Hart
    I think it would be best, in light of recent events, if the film was simply
    not shown at all. And by "recent events" I mean "that f*cking awful first
    Lord of the Rings film."

    1076. Sigmund Wonder
    Oh thank you so much for this. Those shameless moneymongers care for
    nothing but themselves. Baby Jesus cries every day because of them. Every
    single day. Could you please start a petition to stop those fascist police
    from using 911 as their phone number too?
    That is also something that bothers me.

    1102. Paul
    they have no sensitivity, i wont even let my two twin kids stand next to
    each other out of respect for 9/11

    1183. Lionel Hutz
    I myself am a big Elvis fan, and if they name the third film after the book
    title "Return of the King" i will start my own petition....

    1181. LordBunion
    I think that Mr Peter Jenkins is an insensitive bastard. He should be
    deported to New Zealand or something.

    1177. Melkor
    It is equally disrespectful that some people still have the nerve to use
    matching pairs of shoes.

    1172. Joseph Minkock
    How about changing it to: "Frodo's Hilarious Journey"?

    1225. Hamm Hurabi
    I demand that the number two no longer be used!

    1290. Nigel Morris
    I already boycotted The Lord of the Rings because of its obvious reference
    to hard, thrusting, dirty anal sex. And rings.

    1346. burt convy's nipples
    Yes, this exploitative Tolkien fellow should develop TV programs for Fox. I
    say change the next movie to *honor* the event: something like "Frodo, the
    Littlest Fireman."

    1387. Ashton Kushner
    I think it should be renamed "Dude, where's my precious?"

    1444. Hugh Jorgan
    May I suggest the name be changed to The Double-Headed Phallus of Doom?

    1443. olly
    I'll sign anything.

    1434. William Shatner
    I think Jackson's choice of title is shocking and offensive. Two new
    buildings were recently constructed in my home town, but we managed to have
    them demolished and the offenders removed from society.

    1422. Ajax Cortina
    While you're at it, let's ban the number 11. Everytime I see it, I cry.

    1405. Pass
    I believe Twins should be banned from entering Tower Records stores.

    I think it all points to Tolkien being a Nostradamus like figure who hid his predictions for the future in a veil of elvish, orcs and nazgul.

    I wonder what other gems of future fortelling wisdom we can glema from his tome?
