The Watchmen

1. Erroneous title for the seminal 1985 comic series and currently unreleased movie Watchmen.It is common for the press, non fans or new fans to misname the title. Making the mistake triggers a massive bombardment of corrections and sometimes insults by fanatical devotees of the story.
2. Vigilantes/dictators; unregulated and unchallenged positions of authority.
1. "Fans of the the obscure comic series and co-creator Alan Moore "The Watchmen" about a superhero team claim that the comic is unfilmable"

"Comment: THERE IS NO "THE". THE WATCHMEN ARE NOT A SUPERHERO TEAM. DO SOME RESEARCH YOU FUCKING PHILISTINE!

2. "Who watches the Watchmen?" -Roman Poet Juvenal
