Peter Jackson's got a problem

[The Stranger:Me]

Bloody hell, call a spade a spade.

[dawnrazor]

just to throw something into the mix here...

Hollywood is not in the business of presenting the truth in favor of losing a dollar...it is tinsel town after all...regardless of the director, its not a documentry....

[Colapop]

Yeah but it's the director who is deciding how it is to be made. ie. what characters are to be included and how they are to be presented. He may feel that a dog named 'Nigger' is an integral part of the story. The Hollywood money has given him the artistic lisence to create the movie as he sees fit. He did, after all, make that other bilion dollar (quite profitable) movie series for them...

The way PJ bastardised LOTR, I think calling the dog Trigger will be rather easy to miss amongst the guarranteed artistic licence.

Its just an easy way to get publicity for the project - PJ you are the master

[muzz]

Shit how old are you? lol I can remember when a popsicle was 15c.

Shit I remember when they were sixpence

[Steam]

Duh, it's simple, just call it Boy, like "Heel boy", or "Fetch the stick boy!" or "where's my fucking dog". He doesnt' need to mention the name at all.

Yeah but your only as good as your last mistake in Hollywood, and the monkey movie was not the 'BIG' smash that everyone predicted...anyway I expect the dog will either be cut out or never directly refered to in the course of the movie and hidden in the credits

pssst....here boy....good dog....sit...give the paw....don't call my bitch a ho mofo

[Motu]

Shit I remember when they were sixpence

And we called them TT2's and they were 4d.

We also had a rhyme for choosing - ''eeny meeny miny moe,catch a nigger by the toe,if squeals let him go,eeny meeny miny moe.Even my Maori friends said that....but they didn't consider themselves black back then.....nor did we.

I remember 0.08c a popsicle

I feel reason to quote myself from my 5th form (This year's) speech.

Now Ethnic people get offended when I call them Ethnic, what's up with that? The idea of Political Correctness seems to be making up new words with the same meaning. No longer are they "Those Slave Niggers", they're "Afro-Americans." No longer can we call the dairy owner a "Curry Muncher", no, now it has to be the politically correct term of "Spice Enjoyer." And Osama Bin Laden, one of many of our turban wearing friends, is no longer to be addressed as a "Sand Monkey", he's now known as an "Arab". Well this has just gone too far. We need to do everything in our power to get New Zealand back to how it was BEFORE the politicians wrecked it for us.

You're either with me, or you're a tool of the establishment. I've watched "V for Vendetta", I've read "1984", and I listen to Tool. I know what I'm talking about. All your scheming is part of a plan to rid free thinking and democracy.

So there we have it, the foundations of our country's moral retaining walls are crumbling under the collective might of the polititians. Take a stand for yourself! Don't use fancy PC words, just say it like it is. The time of reckoning is at hand, and we need to stand together if we are going to make it through this whirlwind of ridiculousness and hatred against the majority. Oh yes, I've called you on it, Ms Clarke. We all know that the entire reasoning behind PC is to opress the entire population.

Let's preserve our freedom and say no to the scourge of Political Correctness!

Are you for phukkin' real?!
You've used a hollywood movie, a publicity seeking band and a book written nearly sixty years ago about a time before you were born to substantiate narrow minded attitudes fostered in a small country town at the arse end of the world.
I was going to launch into a diatribe attacking your smalltown mentality....but then I realised that you are just a stoopid country kid with a scar where his second head used to be. Well, that's the impression the rest of the world has of some junior wannabe militant redneck and they'll categorise you as such. What's that? The stereotype is innaccurate you say? You are offended? Who wants a bit of Political Correctness now.....?

Look at all the drama over the da vinci code that the god botherers whipped up, they will make more money as any publicity is good publicity!

It's the name of a dog. It isn't like he led a naked little adopted orphan African boy around on a choker chain and tied him up outside at night, fed him nothing but beef bones and washed him down with the fire hose once a week.... if that was the case then maybe I'd understand what the fuss was about but otherwise it's just the proverbial storm in a teacup.

for those who dont remember... a clip of that was in Pink Floyd- The Wall... when Pink was in his room and the TV was on...right before he lost the plot and started smashing shit ..

You don't go re-writing history. The dogs name is Nigger.

Tool are far from a publicity seeking band. Maynard James Keenan is a man who is outspoken about his opinion, as am I. Because of how different Tool are, is why people like them. They are not publicity seeking; They do what they love and people like it. Not their fault.

And that book written 60 years ago, revolutionised the world. The views taken and portrayed in that book are absolutely amazing. And if a 15 year old can read it, understand it, and appreciate it, then the author certainly done something right.

You must be the most pathetic life form I have ever had the displeasure of associating with. I wish the fleas of a thousand camels upon your testicles. Grow up and take a fucking look around you. See where this country is heading and take a look into the future. Take a look deeper into politicians and see what mind playing games they're up to. If a 15 year old can, then damn near anyone else can. Have a bit of fucking maturity mate.

And before you go calling me a redneck country kid. . .who's the one who lives in the Wairarapa and who's the one who spent 15 years in the West Island?
