Tomorrow I will go into work like nothing has happened.
Tomorrow I will use the restroom I want like nothing has happened.
Tomorrow I will pretend nothing has happened.

And if something happens, I will stick to my guns.

In the meantime - kick these people in the nuts: http://www.twotowersprotest.org/

puh-leeze. If naming the movie "The Two Towers" classifies to these genetic misfits as hate speech, then standard television programming or a typical day out in the real world is likely to kill them off. (And wouldn't using "Two Towers" in their protest name be hate speech, too?)

I didn't see a way to contact them. Admittedly, I didn't look too hard, but I'm thinking they've started finding out what "hate speech" is all about.

Unbelievable. As if there is not enough crap in the world they now have to stifle our creative expression by making us be sensitive to these issues. Hell, I hadn't even made the connection until I saw the website.

How about we be sensitive to the feelings of JR Tolkien's descendants by not raping his work by changing it to satisfiy our own neurotic hang-ups.

The book is titled The Two Towers. The producers/directors/writers and such of the films have tried very hard to keep the movie as acurate to the books as will allow. Even though they have not kept to the book completely, I think they have done an admirable job. The movie should be retain its name of The Two Towers.

And by the way.... "...The Spiderman movie which was released in 2002 had the images of the two towers removed from the movie. This sentiment was greatly appreciated by the Two Towers Protest Organization". And I think this was stupid. The two towers should have been proudly displayed in the movie as rememberance to our great cultural and economical heart, not erased from our creative and imaginative expressions. If we closet away these images, then the only image we have left to remember is the tragic image.

Cowboy Bebop The Movie was set to be released in November of 2001. It was pushed back to 2003 because of ONE shot. Near the climax of the movie, during a somber moment, is a scene of the Martian version of the WTC (the movie takes place on Mars and many of the buildings have been recreated on it). That roughly ten second shot got the movie pushed back to 2003.

Unbelievable.

Had a nice healthy rant about that in my journal.

You know, some things did get though the rabid censorship of the WTC--I watched the movie Vanilla Sky in the theaters about 3 weeks after it happened, and near the end, there is this *scene* of the Towers, silowhetted against a "vanilla sky". I thought personally it was a beautiful tribute, if it was indeed one.

Everyone focuses on the WTC, but what about the people who died at the Pentagon, or those who *died* because they stood up to these terrorists at the cost of their own lives in Pennsylvania?? What about them? We don't hear much about them do we? Must be the economic cost of the towers or some such. Typical.

There should be more about the people that crashed in Penn, because that is the spirit we should be taking into this. We shouldn't back down, but we shouldn't be lashing out either. This needs time to heal, like i said in my rant, and nobody is giving this the chance it needs for the people to properly recover from this.
