The Article written by Janice Kellerman is the most ignorant thing I have ever heard. For one person to be so stupid I can understand but putiing that online draws the line. Also J.K. Rowling did not write the book ok it was the great JRR Tolkiens who wrote it.his books are classics. The Two Towers book and movie was made before 9/11. It has no relationship to 9/11 at all. I must say that somepeople will do anything to get attention these days even if tears down someone elses reputiation. Well I am setting you guys straight right here. I request that you retract the article there is no terriost connection and no arabs in the movie. Lord of the Rings is the greatest Fantasy story of all time read the books see the movie or aleast do research before you write your next article. Also I was offend by the statement "We should just ban all arab-looking people from airplanes, problem solved!" I may not be arab but I have friends that are and I know that they are good people. I dont like that you think we should ban arabs you are a racist. I am one of the many proud americans that hate people like you for your stupidity. People like you give our country a bad name. I hope you have the guts to respond. But probally not your and evryone that works for your paper are Jackasses. With much disgust, M. King

The Two Towers? Have They No Shame?
Written by Janice Kellerman: Concerned Mother
I just talked to my friend Sheila and I could not believe what my ears were hearing! Apparantly, New Line Cinema has never heard of a little thing I like to call tact, since they are promoting a new movie called The Two Towers - an obvious reference to the World Trade Center's "Twin Towers" which were destroyed in the terrorist attacks last September.

My friend told me that there was a book that J.K. Rowlings wrote that is the basis for the movie. I thought that her Harry Potter books were so wonderful that I couldn't believe that she would take advantage of such an ammoral tragedy such as the WTC bombings as inspiration for a literary work!
Then I was informed that the movie was a sequel to last years film "The Fellowship of the Ring", which I enjoyed - despite the homosexual wizard. It's the new millenium, so I guess I have to change with the times, and if sorcerors are deciding to live deviant lifestyles, I'll have to get used to it.
The previews that I have seen for these movies really make my case for me. There is an army of dirty monsters leading an assault on a tall building, obviously depicting the arab terrorists attacking one of our tallest buildings. Even the scene of a Vulcan shooting arrows to keep the monsters at bay seems to be a suggestion by the filmmakers that we install Surface To Air missiles on tall buildings in case any more planes are hijacked, which I think is absurd. We should just ban all arab-looking people from airplanes, problem solved!
So when your son or daughter wants to go see the movie The Two Towers, tell them that you're being a good parent by not letting them go. Sometimes you have to do things as a parent that aren't popular with your kids. This is one of those times. Stand tall America, for if we go patronize this movie - the terrorists have won.
