It is not veto power. But if Sony can make an assassination movie because our culture eats it up then I suppose NK can hack into their information and make threats, which is hunky-dorey in their culture.

Sometimes we American’s act like spoiled brats. The idea of even making a move about assassinating a foreign leader is stupid. They could have done it by fictionalizing the names and places. But no.

How about a movie about murdering Romney? I mean, some things are just in poor taste.

Just because Kim is a monster doesn’t mean we should be monsters, too.

Killing tyrants, real and imaginary is fair game. If it was the Italian Prime Minister or another ally or country in good standing, I would agree. N Korea is fair game.

North Korea is a closed society, unlike any nation on earth, a sealed fortress with almost zero outside contact, how would you go about getting up close to their leader, who has people killed on his whims?

You want to compare that to making jokes about hitting Romney?

When? While he is pumping his own gas, a half mile from his home that we can walk up to?

I agree with you. While I do not like the idea of being held hostage to threats of violence, which may or may not be real, I have to ask again if anyone in the production of this movie, from Seth Rogan to the head of Sony, ever stopped to think if this movie was a good idea.

“if Sony can make an assassination movie because our culture eats it up then I suppose NK can hack into their information and make threats, which is hunky-dorey in their culture.”

Free Speech and Murder are morally equivalent?
