Kim Jong Un apparently isn't the only person who's not a big fan of The Interview at the moment. 

Ohio resident Jason Best has demanded a refund from a movie theater after spending $650 on tickets for the controversial Seth Rogen film.

According to WCPO, Best purchased 50 tickets for the film's screenings at Esquire Theatre in Clifton, Ohio. He hoped to resell the tickets online and take advantage of the fact that it was the only area theater showing the film, following Sony having pulled a wide release in response to threats from hackers.

Obviously a typical liberal who doesn’t understand supply and demand. He got educated.

If I were the owner of the theater, I’d tell him to go piss in a cup and drink it, while doing a handstand.

So who’s going to play him in the movie? Al Sharpton? Jessie Jackson. A Black man from Ferguson? Barack Obama? Holder?

People who can’t take responsibility for their own actions should be eminently qualified.

Best doesn’t seem to be a lucky name.

George Best - Was an Irish soccer player who drank so much he destroyed his liver, got a liver transplant and drank the rest of his organs along with himself into extinction.

Pete Best - Original drummer for the Beatles who played with them for years. Fired immediately after they signed their record deal, went to work for a bakery while they became the biggest band in the world.

Jason Best - Bought 50 tickets for $650 stupidly thinking people would actually pay to see a Seth Rogan movie.

$650 = (2) 3credit classes at the local community college, Worth every penny. Just as educational, and less time consuming

Well which is it, they denied him a refund (as advertised) because it was a “special event” or because he intended to “scalp” the tickets?

Do they have a stated policy prohibiting potential transfer of tickets (no one with a transferred ticket is seeking a refund)?

The Interview was the real bomb. No one in North Korea even watched it. Sony was had as was this guy.

It just came out on iTunes. For $5.99 I can rent it if I want to.

I saw the two minute preview. Just saved my money. Looked terrible.
