I read through the site, and from what I gathered, they do actually acknowledge that the book was written first, it's just that they think PJ should've been "sensitive" and renamed the movie.

Well, that's still ritarded.

The movie is based on the book, so of course you keep the name the same!

You don't change the title of a literary masterpiece because of current events. That's akin to setting a precedent for history revision (a practice that was common in the communist USSR, and so it surprises me greatly that such an "American" site would identify with such a thing).
