Gimmeabreak.
The people at Sony obviously have a yellow streak (about a foot wide) right up their miserable backs.
Personally, I won't buy ANY Sony products for the rest of my life. Sony sets a bad precedent for every
Company in America. They cowed down to a fat little chinker chong that rules through fear.

What's going to happen if that pugy little bastard wants to blackmail other companys ?????? What really
makes me mad is that Obama doesn't have the balls to stand up to North Korea either. He's a bigger
coward than Sony.

The precedent Sony is setting is much bigger than North Korea. Now any and every nationality/religion/political entity/oppressed group knows that threatening violence against anyone involved in distribution of any movie/TV show/book/music that offends them actually works. So expect much more of this.

coming soon to the 3$ box of DVDs at the Menards check-out counters to your area...

especially funny to see the supremely untalented Seth Rogen, the creator of the film, duck and run for cover when things got a little hot for him

basically, a stupid movie made for imbeciles and the North Koreans likely did us all a big favor

The sad irony is: North Korea may have just done the world a huge favor.

With 'Interview' pulled back, N. Korea wins?(Opinion) - CNN.com

I see, and what would all of you think would be an appropriate action for us
if N. Korea or another 'enemy' made a movie about assassinating any
seated United States President?
Pres Bush or Obama?...say, Dem or Rep...

Or Princess Kate and her son...?

Should we or England sit on our hands...officially or covertly?
Just curious.

A quote from that CNN link:

North Korea isn't your typical atheist communist dictatorship. It's far more like the religious-nationalist
regime of Japan during the Second World War, in which the leader is elevated to the status of a living god.

Point missed. It's never a " big favor" when someone else deems a movie inappropriate or irresponsible, and decides that it shouldn't be seen.

If this is the new norm we are in trouble, indeed.

Other countries do not understand this 'free speech' thing...at ALL!

Where is Simon Rushdie today anyway? Sp?

Either ignore it or buy a ticket. It's a movie, not a battle plan. Keep fiction in perspective.

I'm a little baffled why North Korea is all bent out of shape about this movie but didn't seem to care much about TEAM AMERICA: WORLD POLICE, which was far meaner (and funnier) than THE INTERVIEW.

So when someone tells you they're going to punch you, you're a coward if you don't stand firm and take it on the chin?

Silly me, I consider it smarter to move and avoid getting hit.
