galadriel88 · 04-28-2002, 09:19 PM

Ignorant fools....

Arathorn · 04-28-2002, 09:47 PM

BTW, you don't have to sign in but you can view the funny comments just the same.

'Looks like an experiment to see how many lemmings would click on the "Click Here to Sign Petition" button.

Calling the Mods/Admins for the thread lift to the movies section.

elf_princess · 04-28-2002, 09:52 PM

Oh dear... maybe someone should let these fellas know what the deal is...

ignorant fools is right galadriel88!

TinuvielChild · 04-28-2002, 10:01 PM

egads! that's really, really pathetic. I signed just so i could post a comment to say that it was really pathetic, you should read some of those comments! i think maybe 1 person actually agrees with that jackass. the rest are either LotR fans or just incredulous that someone could be that ignorant. it's hilarious.

elf_princess · 04-28-2002, 10:05 PM

LOL... some of those comments are pretty funny! Did you happen to see that Osama bin Laden signed it himself?? Hmm... and OJ Simpson too!

Arathorn · 04-28-2002, 10:09 PM

You know what's scary? What if they (New Line) DO just take note of the no. of signatories without reading the comments.

TinuvielChild · 04-28-2002, 10:22 PM

......crud. well, i'm no. 497 i think. or maybe it's 479. yeah, i think it's 479. of course i signed as TinuvielChild. seriously, some of them are just plain funny, some of them are pathetic, and some of them don't know what the hell they're talking about. shutting up, shutting up.

Menelvagor · 04-28-2002, 10:27 PM

Hilarious! I seriously hope that's a joke and no one is that ignorant. Eru, that is funny!

***Khamûl*** · 04-29-2002, 12:21 AM

Someone probably just put that there to see what kind of reaction it would get and to see who would get stirred up about it. I thought that it was pretty funny myself.

BeardofPants · 04-29-2002, 06:26 AM

They have got to be kidding, right? Tell me they're kidding! They're just kidding me...??

***anduin*** · 04-29-2002, 09:05 AM

I think it's pretty sad, however the sigs are pretty humorous. I sent the originator of the petition an email telling him my mind, you should do the same.

***azalea*** · 04-29-2002, 09:08 AM

Have you seen those sigs? I don't think New Line is going to consider that.

StrawberryIcecream · 04-29-2002, 10:36 AM

As you may know from the easter egg thread letter writing is my speciality!!! So i clicked on the comments and suggestions link and wrote this:

You may not be aware that JRR TOLKIEN wrote the lord of the rings series and in the 1954 his second installment was named The two towers. So i suggest you revise you petition as it demonstrates your ignorance of Literature and also offends JRR Tolkien's work and his followers.

short i know, but perhaps it will make the idiots a bit more aware.

frodosgirlfriend · 04-29-2002, 05:36 PM

i think it is real, my dad found it on Fark.com & told me to poast it

TinuvielChild · 04-29-2002, 06:27 PM

here is what i wrote in the "comments" thing when i signed it:

Quote:

Oh my Eru, you people are pathetic. The Two Towers is the original name of the bloody book, you morons! Oh no, you couldn't POSSIBLY take the time to research this before going online to make an ass out of yourself. I'm sorry, more of an ass of yourself. The Two Towers is a perfectly acceptable name, and I just think this whole thing is really, really pathetic. How like an Orc.

lol. i just loved writing that.

samwise of the shire · 04-29-2002, 07:28 PM

I wrote something about TTT just being a turnout of unfortunate chance and all. I think I'll go back and write somethin' up, less serious than whatever.

galadriel88 · 04-29-2002, 08:32 PM

There's a note at the top now, it reads:

"Note: The Two Towers is the title of the JRR Tolkien book originally published in 1954, as part of The Lord of the Rings trilogy: 47 years prior to the attacks on the World Trade Center towers. — PetitionOnline.com"

Maybe this guy will wise up now.
