Everyone who is opposed to hackers dictating what we watch or don't watch should watch DAD out of protest.
I wish there was a better way.
Yes freedom comes with responsibilities. The most important one being defending freedom of conscience. I am not Muslim, I do NOT have to abide by Islamic rules. Or Christian ones, for that matter. Ideas and beliefs can be criticizes and ridiculed. Especially IF they are ridicule. Like thinking a nasty little tyrant is divine and does not go to the toilet to release his bowels. Kim Jong Un is a petty, stupid spoiled brat. If we can't say it out of fear, we are insulting all those who suffer his tyranny.
I believe in reincarnation. Wanna poke fun at that? Call me a Buddhaboy? Laugh? Go ahead, see if I care (Cool- got a Dench line in there). Those insecure enough to react to jokes or criticism are the ones on shaky ground with their beliefs, hence the anger. I say eff 'em if they can't take a joke.
If you want to start legislating to control or soothe people's hurt feelings, well then welcome to 1984ville.
So yes, Kim Jong Un is a stupid spoiled brat and his tyranny a sinister farce. Give him fibres, that's all he needs.
If you are in some way believing in spiritual means, you should know best, that insulting people like him has never resulted in anything even remotely good.
Of course he
Let's get insane for a second- lets make sure ridicule like this never happens by not allowing dictators like Kim to exist in the first place, okay? You want limits to free speech, how about limits to dirtbag leaders? Wanting to control stuff is a slippery slope.....
As for the whole Sony hack and debacle with 'The Interview,' the hackers are now threatening Sony once more, stating that they will be hacked again if they don't wipe all evidence that 'The Interview' ever existed.

Jong-un, Kardashian, Possible. With their powers combined, America doesn't stand a chance.
Being polite is no more an option, and it is insulting to his victims, now among them many poeple working in the cinema industry who lost an income. And freedom of expression and conscience, which just got taken down a few notches. That is your freedom and mine too. A petty dictator in a remote country who is starving his own people has decided what was right for you and me to watch.
Exactly. And let's just burn the books too, which started it all. After all, in GF the henchmen were Korean.
YES! Someone finally posts the actual key point. Sony US is just a division of Sony Japan. They have already suffered huge damage to their brand. Thousands of employees have been grossly harmed with their SSN's and health records in the already released data just waiting for thousands of dishonest hackers to wade through and use.
Instead the media is giddy with the gossip and dirt. And they just want more of it, no matter the cost to Sony and thousands of innocent employees caught up in the mess. The damage already done to important relationships (Jolie, Rudin, EON etc) is no doubt just the tip of what will occur if further data is released. Without these relationships, how the hell does Sony make films? The self-serving media loves the gossip. It draws hits to their sites. They are making money off ot it. And the posturing by the multi-milllionaire Hollywood elites that have cotton for brains and no responsibility for the real world of damage management that Sony is wading into is eye ball rolling.
Someone brought up the Team America movie. And exactly what billion dollar multi national co. got hacked of terabytes of data, and all servers destroyed over that release? Different time, different world. And why isn't it getting released over Netflix and Amazon. Hello. Amazon has one of the biggest out-sourcing data infrastructures in the world. They will risk it to hacking for a Seth Rogan film? Really? And Netflix. They too will risk their entire network structure to hacking by these terrorists too?
This was a business decision. A bad and horrible politically incorrect decision versus an even worse and even more damaging politically correct decision. They could not afford more data leaks, more relationship destruction, more unfilmed scripts released, still thousands of more employee records released with millions of dollars in liability lawsuits already underway, more crippling damage to their brand. Sometimes the real world does not make for easy black and white decisions. Sony Japan, and you better believe it was Japan, is making the big decisions here.
And about Sony's supposed lax data security and the comments that Sony had none. Yes, right and the NSA, the most secret agency in the entire US gov't had none either? All it takes is a rotten apple or group getting the login of a system administrator with root privs. You then have access to everything. If NSA's data was toast in the hands of a junior System Administrator contractor who was a high school drop out, what chance did Sony have with a much more sinister group hacking away over time. This new form of cyber war has started. There is a lot of fear out there. People know NSA and Sony are just the beginning. Obama was wrong to trash Sony for a "bad" decision. They had no choice. He is a lawyer. He knows better.
