OH NOES TEH OUTRAGE
9/11 Widows Protest Stone's 'World Trade Center'
Two women whose husbands were among the New York Port Authority officers who died at the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001 have denounced Oliver Stone's upcoming film about the calamity, telling the Newark Star-Ledger that they don't want their children to see how their fathers died or share the last moments of their husbands' lives with moviegoers. The women, Jamie Amoroso and Jeannette Pezzulo, said that they had informed Paramount about their concerns. They also expressed resentment that two other Port Authority officers who were with their husbands at the time, but who survived, were being paid as consultants on the film. Pezullo's husband Dominick was attempting to free one of the surviving men, Will Jimeno, when he was struck by falling debris and was killed. Addressing Jimeno, Jeannette Pezzulo said, "My thing is: This man died for you. How do you do this to this family?" Ms. Pezzulo said. Jimeno told the newspaper that he felt it was important that the story be told accurately. "I never crossed the line," he said. "It's our story, too. We're also victims of this."
It's really too bad Oliver Stone, the government and Al Queda are holding a gun to these people's heads and forcing them to watch this movie. It would really be great if we lived in a country where one was more or less free to choose what media they pay to consume.
I mean, I was really bummed when Sony, the RIAA and Osama Bin Laden forced me to keep buying DRM crippled CDs by injecting me with rohypnol and training their orbital mind control lasers on me. That really sucked.
