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."

Ah yes, the reckless monkey rollicking the bush.
Yes, it’s certainly a slur.
Monkeys aren’t evil, they’re just monkeys.
Calling him a monkey is charitable.
Ok now, watch for this to be called “racist” and all of a sudden no one will have a sense of humor or cry “free speech” any longer. No one on the left anyway.
Hard to argue with their assessment.
Obama is not a monkey, he’s a maniacal red communist tyrant , just like Kim they have lots in common!
Now this story below is a hoot:

love to see folks throw bananas at him wherever he goes.
They were probably looking at Moochelle.
Now that is an insult...to monkeys.
“North Korea Calls Obama ‘A Monkey’”.....
Good observation!
Plenty of people called President Bush a monkey. I guess everyone forgot about that one.
I think you are correct and did separate this truth from the chaff except.......
“Sun Wukong is a skilled fighter, capable of holding his own against the best warriors of heaven”
Guess Kim un got it wrong
Tsk! Tsk! Those nasty North Koreans.
The Norks might be on to something...
