If you've seen the news lately, you know about the Sony Pictures hack by North Korean hackers. This morning I read that North Korea's internet service COUNTRYWIDE was down for nearly 10 hours.

Gee, I wonder how that happened?

And this all started when they decided to make that Interview movie. Someone wasn't thinking.

Oh, and...

Forum thread 1,000!

Wowzers.

I hope we don't go to war over this.

This seems like one of the those circumstances were the general population on either side doesn't give a hoot but the media and people in power will instigate until bombs are dropped.

Despite the threats, hacks and all, The Interview is still going to be played.

I think the whole thing was orchestrated by Sony. I know that sounds far-fetched. But it's quite convenient for them how this goofball movie that had zero attention two weeks ago is now all over the news and a symbol of patriotic duty.

North Korea is a dinosaur. I showed a video clip to my students of a North Korean military parade and had to emphasize that this was from present day, not the 1940's or 30's.

The Interview is available on Youtube for 6 dollars. Sony might end up making more on this! If North Korea would have kept mum, this movie would have come and gone and not gained the notoriety it now has.

Yeah. Kim Jong Un is going to end up looking like an idiot to more people than ever now. Smooth.

North Koreans weren't this upset when the South Park guys did Team America: World Police.
