It is, but they have a call in to ComCast. The nice lady says it should be up any moment now.

IOW: “Despite the fact that we wrote bitchy entitled racist shit about PBHO in our leaked emails, and folded like wet Kleenex when threatened because we were searching for an excuse to cut our losses on The Interview, PBHO shamed us into standing up at least a token amount.”

As Josh said, “No mulligan”, you dopes. You still look like cowardly aristocrats.

Color me cynical, but this could be the end result of a wonderful PR campaign to build up demand.

If a woman starred in the movie she’d have to pop a boob by accident or flash her “hey nonny nonny” to get this much press.
