    I saw on the news that Sony had to cancel the premier of a new comedy about assasinating Kim J Jr because they were frightened of a backlash .
    No link google doesn't work so if you give a **** fill in the gaps yourself.

    If only they were as brave as your rant about Tiananmen Square last month. I'm surprised the Chinese authorities haven't locked you up yet.

    I was talking about the massacre on 13th Dec 1937 300,000 people were raped and killed in Lanjing by the Japanese .
    I watched a documentary about it and it made me want to invade Japan the evil ****s.

    They will release the movie 2 weeks later than scheduled and make a ****ing fortune because of the hype. Marketing genius.

    I have never met a N Korean they are not allowed out, plenty of S Koreans usually Finance students or BBQ chefs.

    I'm not quite sure how to put this, and I'm only telling you because I love you buddy, but your posts are becoming a bit Aldo-esque <whistle>

    I have one English language TV station CCTV and if i don't pay attention i need to wait until the story is looped again.
    I genuinely knew tons of Korean foreign students from my casino days and they were all Finance students.
    The bbq bit was just stereotyping they were mainly *****ls .

    Beats me why anybody would want to make a film about killing another countries leader. It's provocative and guaranteed to offend.

    Whether or not it qualifies as "entertainment" is down to the individual but with the movie industry kicking out all manner of mindless crud in the form of superhero movies, war movies, alien invasion movies..... the list goes on..... then the sort of individual who is likely to be attracted to The Interview is pretty well catered for.

    Have Sony had their freedom of speech infringed? Possibly. So, catch the individuals who are responsible for the online threats and prosecute them. Good luck with that, Sony.

    Meanwhile, the rest of us will get on with living our lives completely unaffected by this furore over nothing.

    Big fuss over nothing.

    You think megalomaniac despots are out of bounds for satire?

    A film about taking out Putin would be a bit of a laugh.

    Once Sony make billions through the hype of this (almost certainly ****e) movie every **** will deliberately try to piss off sensitive groups - I'd personally be well up for investing in the film adaptation of The Satanic Verses.

    I'd chuck a few quid in for that too.

    As investors would we get some say in who plays Mohammed?
