Oh, the irony. After Sony cancelled the release of The Interview, a few theaters declared that they would show the 2004 hit Team America: World Police in its place as a protest against threats to free expression. That film also derided the government of North Korea, as well as the liberal Hollywood establishment that catered to anti-American despots in what was a prescient (if irreverent and very R-rated) satire.
As if to emphasize the latter critique, two cinemas have announced that Paramount Pictures has forbidden them to show the film publicly:
At least two movie theaters say Paramount Pictures has ordered them not to show Team America: World Police.

You might think that this would be a moment for some in Hollywood to stand up for free expression. You would, apparently, be wrong. In this case, it’s all the more ironic, as TAWP features this send-up song that actually has the perfect message for this week. Freedom isn’t free, folks. Sometimes it costs a lot more than a buck-oh-five, but in this case Paramount stood to make a lot more than a buck-oh-five, and still caved.
The video’s NSFW because of language, but this week I’m willing to say, “f*** it.”
If Paramount — which stood to gain in this transaction — won’t throw in its buck-oh-five, who in Hollywood will?
Updated: Gizmodo calls this “a staggering act of cowardice“:
Terrorist threats are no laughing matter, of course, but the Department of Homeland Security has found no credible threat and evidence that the Guardians of Peace have any sort of manpower that could do anything within the boundaries of the United States (much less at thousands of locations simultaneously) is practically non-existent. This sort of panicked cowardice would be laughably absurd if it wasn’t so damn sad.
No kidding.
Dirka dirka.
North Korea is probably not even behind this hack.
Lyrics to Kim Jong Il’s I’m So Ronery
Yes...
Cerebrate the new world
I’m, so, ronery
So ronery
So ronery and sadry arone
There’s no one
Just me onry
Waiting to kiss me back home
I work very hard to be number one guy
Stirr there nobody who rite up my rife
Seems that no one takes me seriorousryyyy
And so..
I’m ronery
A rittle ronery
Poor ritter me..
There’s nobody
I can rerate to
Feer rike a bird in a cage
It’s kind of sorry, but not rearry
Because it’s firring my body with rage
I rork rearry hard to stay nice and fit
But none of da women seem to give a shit
When I rure da world, maybe dey’ll notice meeee
Until den..
I’ll just be ronery
Sigh.. a rittle ronery
Poor ritter me..
I’m .. so.. ronery
I have Team America on DVD.
Thank you very much.
Unfortunately the joke is on America for caving to this runt.
Lol. Girr’s bike.

Look at the stenciling above the Pres-Seal on his left-brestical and the “name-tag on the other side.
I read that the first emails did not even mention NK... People are saying it was an inside job. Someone wanted to hurt Sony (or the characters involved) and succeeded. At first I thought it was NK, but upon reflection and some evidence on the emails, it seems not.
The terrorists have won.
I want to ask y’all a question:
If this had been any company other than a big Dem contributing Hollywood outfit would Washington be so upset and call this a national security issue? Let’s say if it was Exxon. Would Obama just say “it is your problem and in your own interest to secure your computer network.”
Actually I kinda feel that way right now. Why the he77 can’t Sony protect their own intellectual property? Now on the other hand, I wouldn’t mind the US dropping a couple of 1,000 pounders on the mini midgets headquarters.
The Film Actor’s Guild is unhappy
:: caving to this runt “”
Ummm, you may have accidentally tripped upon an alliteration insult that could catch fire on FR...
To wit, “raving to this...”
:-)
Hows about falling back and showing THE CHAIRMAN with Gregory Peck!
I am going to hold a private screening in my house of Team America! Whoo hoo!
If I can’t watch vulgar puppets then the terrorists will have won.
