Wow, that's a surprise. I can't believe Sony is so afraid. I guess they are gonna avoid mentioning North Korea is every future movie release as well.

Sony just using North Korea as an excuse for the complete fuck up of its security department.
Its funny, that when some years ago some 'hackers' hacked thru Asad's e-mail they were shown in media as a 'freedom fighters' against a 'dumb tyrant'. Now huge international corporation fucked up its security (And its not the first time, I must say!) - and then some 'communists' are to blame because of some stupid movie...
I call it a bullshit.

Yeah, or like someone else mentioned, maybe the hackers know something big about Sony. I just don't understand how a big corporation can give into the demands of some hackers so easily. Its making them look like a joke.

Well Sony is still a Japanese company. So I'm assuming they are looking at this at a political level as well and doesn't want to add to the strained Japan - North Korea relation.
Again, I'm just guessing here. Its seems like the Japanese thing to do ^^;;;;

Bullshit. And even if a couple idiots have a problem with movies making jokes like that, why should the studios give in to that? It sets a precedent that shouldn't happen, this is what happened back with the South Park episode that had Allah in it and now with this movie. If you make it basically not allowed to make fun of certain groups of people, then why should you be able to make jokes about other groups of people, where is the cut off line? There are tons of comedy movies/series sometimes cracking jokes at all kinds of religious and ethnic groups, should all that not be allowed anymore? No, there is no place for political correctness in comedy, if you don't like it then don't watch it but nobody has any right to tell anyone what they can and can't laugh and make jokes about. |
i am not saying its okay or not, i just point out that if it would be about the current american president alot of americans would try to hack sony too or just bann it. Tell me a film where the role is reverse ? can you?
Did Matt Stone and Trey Parker receive threats for their portrayal of Kim Jong-il in Team America?

the hackers said they got a big surprise on Christmas Day
my bet that its something very illegal that Sony Pictures has done that will lead to some firings and arrest if/when this gets out.
