Well, Obama hinted at a counter-attack, and that appears to be it.



Horseshit
you need a spinal column for that

Besides, have you ever looked at a photo of NK From space?? The only lit areas are KIM DONG SMALL's palaces, military bases or bunkers, and their gulag camps. No one would notice this sort of attack. They're lucky the damn power stays on

Apparently they're suffering from a cyber attack of their own right now. Karma's a bitch.
The problem for decades now hasn't been how to remove the regime, doing that would take about 24 hours of bombing stuff before they ceased to exist militarily, it's what you do with them afterwords. What do you do with 20 million starving uneducated hillbillies? The first thing they're going to try to do is leave. China is pragmatic enough to solve the problem by just machine gunning the ones that try for their border but South Korea would be royally fucked. About the best outcome you can hope for here is eventually the people who live there get fed up enough to actually do something about it.

Sad thing is, even if they get fed up enough to do something about it, they'll have to actually be fed in order to be able to do anything about it. Malnutrition and starvation are great ways of keeping people under your thumb.

Should start flying food drop sorties, might be the most effective way to bomb the SOBs.
Congrats to Sony for not completely wussing out. Apparently the movie will see limited release on time. Hope my local theater gets a copy. Rogen is hit or miss with me, loved Zac and Miri and This is the End, hated all his other stuff (haven't seen that neighbors movie but want to).

I think this was planned all along. Pull the movie and publicize the hell out of the "threat," suck up a bunch of public support for "free speech," and then rake in the cash from people who otherwise wouldn't have bothered with the movie, but who now will gladly fork over $12 a ticket just to stick it to ol' Pol Potbelly. Well played, Sony. Well played.

Yea.....I think they saw an opportunity and used it. Hell even Paramount got some action by offering screenings of Team America.

My local theater decided to run it. Bought a ticket expecting a total abomination, was really surprised at how good it was. I mean, don't get me wrong it was 90 solid minutes of poop jokes and slapstick, but it was GOOD poop jokes and slapstick :D , the entire audience including yours truly was laughing from start to end.

Personally, I always thought that Kim Jong-Un always looks like he doesn't want the job; he looks like he's thinking, "How did I get into this mess? What am I doing here? I wish I didn't have to be seen with these idiots...."

Watching The Interview on iTunes now. It's pretty funny.
