Well, I guess I should be happy that North Korea finally puts an end to Franco and Rogen's reign of terror, but still, these hackers shouldn't have got what they wanted. It's a huge defeat and will only encourage more cyber-terrorism of the same kind.

From what I see Sony wanted to still release it but most movie theater chains pulled out.

Seriously, I'm bummed. I'm going to here for Christmas because my Judas sister is coming home and I won't see her, so it would've been nice to laugh with Franco and Rogen on Xmas Day. The DPRK is a genital wart on the micropenis of humanity.

Just saw they have declared NK responsible.

Yeah, but the attack apparently originated from outside of NK.  My bet is 6 guys in a basement in Singapore.

I'm still shocked that in this day and age, threat of violence can stop freedom of expression in a western nation (the strongest of them all, too).

Yeah, it's only going to encourage this sort of thing in the future.  Less Grossman would never allow this to happen.

I think there should be mass viewings of Team America: World Police on Christmas Day as protest.  Fun for the whole family, esp. the puppet sex scene.

Yeah, I'm not convinced this is a North Korean thing. I saw an interview with someone who was a teacher in North Korea, and she said, most students of computer tech, didn't even hear of the Internet.

It's probably six kids in a basement in .....Oregon

According to CNN the US government has officially named North Korea.  My guess is they farmed it out to some kids in Russia.

Materially we're the strongest nation the earth has ever seen.  Too bad we're so dang weak-willed and spineless.
