There are people with lousy agendas all over the place, and many of them do it just to troll.

There was a petition not long ago on petitiononline that called for the US Congress to BAN the book 'the two towers' because of its depiction of sorcery AND 'obvious connection to 9/11'. Some people will do anything to get attention.

Actually, there's a rediculous amount of counter-petitions like those.

Perhaps we should make attention-grabbing illegal. Then, people will have no reason to do dumb stuff like this. Also, these people probably went unaffected by the events of 9/11, lost no friends or relatives, and probably din't care about the events anyway. It's common of PCers to think they're always right. That's why you have whites calling everything they can "hurtful to blacks", even if blacks like them.

Sites like this are old news, and the petitiononline one is ancient, dates back to last summer already, and I linked to it in a previous thread. Sadly, the fucktards behind this idiocy are serious, but they are few in number. Too bad it's illegal to shoot them on sight... :evil:

Hey, if you think Peter Jackson's desperate for cashing in on the World Trade Center disaster, wait 'til you hear his next movie: Return of the King. Yup, Jackson's besmirching the memory of Elvis and his unfortunate death with the false hope that the King of Rock 'n Roll will be coming back. That he would exploit the clearly tragic fate of a figure loved by millions show the man clearly has no soul.

You sure he's not secretly wanting the second coming and trying to appeal to the mindless horde :P ?

Still gotta wonder what the hell is up with them and the need to condemn this tale that has nothing to do with anything in the real world...especially current day event.

I guess JRR Tolkien's other name was Nostradamus to these morons. :roll:
