N. Korea hacks Sony in revenge for Seth Rogen's film "The Interview"

[Admiral Yi]

The Korean pejorative for Japanese is "weh-nom," which translates loosely as "short-legged barbarians."

[Ideologue]

Just because they have one of you does not mean the Korean people are particularly tall.

[Admiral Yi]

My full-blooded Korean uncle is 6'5''.  And Japs are in fact little tiny people.

[Ideologue]

True.

Just because they have one of you does not mean the Korean people are particularly tall.

Koreans are much taller than Japanese and Han Chinese, I was shocked when I got here.

[Eddie Teach]

Are they taller than Puerto Ricans?

I think it has a fair bit to do with diet, to be honest - it's my impression that South Koreans eat more meat and more Western food as well compared to the Japanese and Chinese of comparable generations.

North Koreans are not, as I understand it, very tall at all.

[Josquius]

Koreans really aren't much taller than Japanese people.
I find that young Japanese guys tend to be a pretty similar height to westerners. At my high school in japan were lots of kids at around the 190 mark.
Girls oddly enough tend to be shorter than western women though. There weren't many tall ones over there

I was quite surprised when I went to Korea and found everyone just looked Japanese. I had been led to expect a land of beautiful plastic people

Sony has revealed Interview's online sales: $15m so far. That's a lot. It's not going to be enough to make up the losses, but it will certainly cushion the blow.

Films, in general, earn very little on Digital compared to theatrical or DVD sales, but this one has had a rather unique story.

And I helped.   USA!

I wonder if they'll go low on the Hollywood Accounting when it's all said and done so that the claim this movie made a net profit at the end

[Martinus]

North Koreans are not, as I understand it, very tall at all.

But surely they eat at least as well as South Koreans. 

[Sheilbh]

Regardless of the box office, the true, lasting and measurable impact of all this is:  more Seth Rogan and James Franco movies. 

I know

It's as if the Ayatollahs issued a fatwa against Jilly Cooper not Salman Rushdie

A quick look at Rogen's IMDB page reveals he already has 5 films in the can. One of them written and directed by Franco
