good griefā€¦ it will be hilarious if this incident somehow leads to a breakthrough in relations with nk ā€“ since it was being highlighted yesterday as evidence of obamaā€™s foreign policy failures, because he was unable to establish any relationship with the countryā€¦
oh to be a fly on the wall in the gop strategy sessionsā€¦ lol

also, tooā€¦ looks like junior is really packing on the pounds in recent photosā€¦

warning of ā€œseriousā€ consequences if Washington rejects a probe

That sounds sort of familiarā€¦

This has the makings of a new buddy film all over it. A rigid dogmatic North Korean intelligence officer and a dope smoking California hacker join forces.

Seth Rogen could direct.

Yeah, great idea for a sequel. Kim Jong Unā€™s management want to set him up for the lead. Or at least a cameo if they can get Clooney to play Kim. Heā€™s gotta top that damn Gangnam Style dude.

Or there will be serious consequences.

These guys are such thugs that they canā€™t even write a press release without a threat in it. And you know what every bully is covering up, right?

I really think that Sony ought to build a marketing campaign for the movie around this brouhaha. Itā€™s striking PR gold. They could give away a free bomb-proof vest at every theater opening.

One has to wonder if a ā€œjoint investigationā€ would give NK access to information that would facilitate further attacks. In which case, of course they want one.

ok, the problem I see with this is related to equipment. Iā€™m not sure anyone in the US is still using dial-up modems. this could make communications between their ā€œinvestigatorsā€ and ours somewhat problematic.

If even one theater is willing to show the film, Sony should provide them with a print to show, or the DVD and Blu-ray should be on the shelves before Christmas.

Smart ass. I think we should offer him a free trip to a fat farm in LA. Let him slim down with the stars.
