Paramount reportedly bans showings of "Team America" Theaters Say

Forget those plans by Alamo Drafthouse Cinema and other theaters to run Team America: World Police in place of The Interview. The Austin-based chain says that Paramount has now decided not to offer South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s 2004 satire that focuses on Kim Jong-il, the late father of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. Alamo says that the cancellation at its Dallas theater is “due to circumstances beyond our control” and says it will offer refunds to those who have already bought tickets. Cleveland’s Capitol Theater also tweeted that Team America “has been canceled by Paramount Pictures.”

Cowards all, Paramount, Sony, and the leftist weenies who are in control. Hack, and show it online. If N Korea can hack, I am sure both movies could be made available by the enterprising sorts among us. Then Turn Pyongyang into a parking lot that glows in the dark.

Seriesly, I don't feel so bad anymore about download torrents and ripping off the studios.

In fact, kinda makes me feel justified in doing so. Sweet!

What a bunch of cowards.

The real perpetrators (which I doubt is NK) are laughing their butts off in their mom’s basement.
