White male capitalist corporate “christian” villians have always been popular.

I noticed several years ago that the Ruskies had returned as top villains in movies and TV programs.

Earnest, the WH presser, said that the Admin is calling for caution as the investigation of the Sony hacking is going on, so we don’t get a rush to judgment.

[Hmmmm. They should have displayed that much ‘caution’ while the Ferguson incident was boiling. Instead, they were s*it-stirring, inciting, and supporting those who rushed to judgment and those who ignored the judgment issued by the Grand Jury. Duplicity at its worst with this Administration.]

I'm not shedding any tears for Sony. The entertainment industry in the US is out of control with its trash that undermines every principle of decency and civilization. If Sony wanted to do a satire about North Korea, it should've been with fictional names for the country and leader. Really good satire does that; it makes it more relevant in the long term.

And the classless snarking in execs emails? It would be very nice if Sony put grownups in charge.

It's been said many times. This could've been worse. The hackers could've done something serious and dangerous to the power grid, monetary system or whatever.

Perhaps Sony execs should take responsibility for their lousy computer security and their tasteless disregard of others. Grownups do that....they take responsibility.

Not to worry, there are still plenty of White American Conservatives left.

Seems to me as though PC villains are proliferating....Rooshia, the Jews, Wall Street, White Americans, Black Republicans, F—cking Drillers of any hue, a new group every week.

Heaven forefend that Hollyweird use the same villains from the original “Back to the Future” film.

[Fiji Hill]

Politically correct villains are not new. In the early 1960's, a number of movies came out about World War II--Sink the Bismarck, The Guns of Navarone, The Longest Day, etc. meanwhile, except for an occasional spy thriller, very few films dealt with Cold War issues. Some conservatives at the time complained that Hollywood was re-fighting the dead-and-gone Third Reich while ignoring the Soviet threat.

Without North Korea, Hollywood Is Running Out of Politically Correct Villains

I guess slaughtering 140 children is not enough for the "politically correct" crowd to label the Taliban as "villans".

"Come here you whacky Talibans and give aunt Hillary an empathetic hug!"

North Korea & Kim Jong Un: The Official Censors of the American Motion Picture Industry

Hollywood can still mock and humiliate Christians so I don’t think they are worried about losing N.Korea.

[Billthedrill]

Hollywood has the only class enemy it needs. Us.

Bring the Libyans “Back To The Future”.

Sony really wimped out. I’m glad these guys weren’t around during World War II. How many movies with straight white male Christian capitalist villains can be made?

All this fuss over a comedy. I wonder what it’ll do for the careers of its stars? James Franco is Matt Damon’s rival for doing the most to invite rumors about himself. To his credit, Franco doesn’t pretend to be an expert on public policy.
