Pyongyang issues furious statement accusing US of shutting down its internet services as row over The Interview shows no sign of easing
North Korea called President Barack Obama "a monkey" and blamed the US on Saturday for shutting down its internet services amid the hacking row over The Interview.
North Korea has denied involvement in a crippling cyberattack on Sony Pictures but has expressed fury over the comedy depicting an assassination of its leader Kim Jong-un. After Sony Pictures initially called off the release in a decision criticised by Obama, the movie has opened this week.
On Saturday, the North's powerful National Defence Commission, the country's top governing body led by Kim, said that Obama was behind the release of The Interview. It described the movie as illegal, dishonest and reactionary.
"Obama always goes reckless in words and deeds like a monkey in a tropical forest," an unidentified spokesman at the commission's policy department said in a statement carried by the official Korean Central News Agency.
He also accused Washington for intermittent outages of North Korean websites this week, after the US had promised to respond to the Sony hack.
There was no immediate reaction from the White House on Saturday.
According to the North Korea commission's spokesman, "The US, a big country, started disturbing the internet operation of major media of the DPRK, not knowing shame like children playing a tag."

Sometimes a banana is just a banana.
Or a line of coke...
Well, libs called Bush a “chimp” and portrayed him as a monkey his whole term. So, actually, this makes me laugh. North Korea is so stupid and pitiful - just like our “smart” lefties.
Why would they insult monkeys?
meh...you expect certain things from monkeys and they never disappoint you.
That’s an insult to the poor monkeys.
ditto
Well, they're partially right on that point.
Lance Link is offended.
He’s freaking virulent mindless insane APE who gets drunk on fermented bananas and becomes amorous with anyone who dares to be in a static position for more than a few seconds.
“Lance Link—Secret Chimp!”
I used to have a lunchbox from that show when I was a kiddo!
If the NORKs had any imagination they should set up their own production crew and produce a SITCOM or movie that is a parody of the Obamas. From his youth to his presidency it would be comedy gold.
