Demand For ‘The Interview’ Is Shooting Up In North Korea And Its Government Is Freaking Out

More and more North Koreans are becoming aware of the North Korea-mocking movie “The Interview,” and the government is doing everything to block it from getting smuggled in to the country.

According to Free North Korea Radio, an online radio network made by North Korean defectors, demand for “The Interview” has been shooting up among North Koreans. It says people are willing to pay almost $50 a copy of the movie, which is 10X higher than what a regular South Korean TV show’s DVD would cost in the black market.

In response, North Korea’s State Security Department and The Ministry of People’s Security held an emergency meeting recently, and told its officers to make sure the movie doesn’t make it into the country under any circumstances.

The report says the North Korean government has beefed up its border security inspection level, and even told black market dealers to not bring in any kind of US movie for the time being.

There’s a lot of North Koreans who would love to see their ‘Dear Leader’ killed off even if it is just a Hollywood dream.

Maybe someday their dream will come true!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Perhaps Seth and James will inspire a revolution!

Dang! If there was one movie I would want the North Koreans to see that best represent American society, it would not be the “Interview,” even with the killing of Kim Jong Un. Well, it’s better than nothing, maybe?

[MeganC]

You’re very right with the edit. Truth be told, though, the clown we have in the White House would be far worse if no one were standing in his way.

Perhaps Seth and James will inspire a revolution!

Coincidentally, that is the major focus of the script of the movie.

Hopefully some South Koreans burn dozens of DVDs and float large balloons over the border.

...satire may be the only thing to resonate with the looney left
Maybe N Korean group will do a satire on the Obama Administration

Dear Eater’s executed uncle Jang Song-thaek, is getting some afterlife supernatural revenge for his shed blood by lil nephew fat buddha boy. Plus all those political prisoners in the Nork’s ‘gulags’ who have been tortured to death. Dear Eater deserves a little payback karma for his crimes including his fellow brown noser cultic army of military commie misfits.

“....demand for “The Interview” has been shooting up among North Koreans.”

.
Hmm, didn’t know that the Norks dared to ‘demand’ anything from their ‘Dear Leader’.

Also float over DVD players, TVs, and direction books… and very long extension cords!!! The average NORK wouldn't recognize a DVD and probably would try to eat it out of desperation. They may still be literate enough to read the direction books as their military probably still needs that skill.

[RetiredTexasVet]

In North Korea the movie will be the movie to die for!!!!!

Ha....and his daddy ate the rabbits:

In what was claimed to be a scheme to solve North Korea’s crippling, deadly famine, North Korean officials got in touch with a German giant rabbit farmer named Karl Szmolinsky. It seems like a great idea: rabbits breed fast, and giant rabbits, at upwards of 20 pounds each, have a good amount of meat on them.

So a posse from the North Korean embassy stops by Szmolinsky’s farm and buys up the six biggest rabbits he’s got. He even gives them a low price, inspired by the good cause his giant livestock would be going to, and ships them off to Pyongyang a month later.

Then, as Szmolinsky told Vice in an interview:

A few weeks later a journalist from London called me. He’d just got back from the birthday celebrations of Kim Jong-il and said he’d seen my rabbits, including Robert. They were being eaten by the leader and his guests. It’s clear to me now that the whole thing was a big scam. They sent in their ministers and invented a story to trick me, just so they could put on a fancy banquet for their leader. In my opinion all politicians are bandits. They’re definitely not getting any more of my rabbits.

No word yet on whether Kim Jong Il’s son and “Dear Successor,” Kim Jong Eun, has inherited his dad’s sophisticated palate, but we’ll undoubtedly find out soon. Ha...maybe just send Lady Gaga and her meat dress:

They'll need to send over some TVs, DVD players and some electricity too, otherwise very few will ever see that movie.

[Star Traveler]

Just drop the DVDs all over North Korea ... LOL ...

[matthew fuller]

I totally and completely empathize with them.

[FatherofFive]

It says people are willing to pay almost $50 a copy of the movie

The only NORKs with $50 are high up in the government!

[DesertRhino]

Remember when we thought East Germany and the Berlin Wall would be there forever? These SOBs are ripe for the picking. As silly as the movie premise was, it may only take some very small unexpected event to destabilize them faster than anyone can imagine.

[SaxxonWoods]

Hopefully the movie will make it into the country soon, and in large quantities.

This is how you bring these horror-holes down.

Mockery and more mockery.
