"THE TITLE [The Two Towers] IS clearly meant to refer to the attacks on The World Trade Center, It is unforgivable that this should be allowed to happen."
-- from an online petition to change the name of the next "Lord of the Rings" movie, sponsered by a group called "Those Affected by September 11"
Personally, I find it amazing that J.R.R. Tolkien could have been both so incredibly insensitive and so incredibly prescient when he chose the name "The Two Towers" for his book -- back in 1954!

By the way, after 9/11 director Peter Jackson briefly considered changing the name, but ultimately decided against it, saying "Tolkien fans would kill us."
(He's probably right.)
