North Korea Threatens War With US Over Seth Rogen Comedy

[Fractured Silhouette]

The Interview has touched a nerve.

An unidentified spokesman for Kim Jong-Un's regime has declared that North Korea will unleash a "swift and merciless" retaliation against the US unless Seth Rogen's comedy The Interview gets canned. The comedy, which features a plot to assassinate Kim Jong Un, is described as "act of war that we will never tolerate," "reckless U.S. provocative insanity" from "gangster filmmakers" whose intent, the spokesman alleges, is to challenge the North's leadership directly.

The film features Seth Rogen and James Franco as celebrity TV journalists who obtain an interview with Kim Jong-Un, only to be recruited by the CIA in an assassination plot. While the North Korean spokesman never refers to the film by name, it's clear from the context that Rogen's comedy is the one North Korea's having a tantrum over. The spokesman alleges that "a gust of hatred and rage" has swept through North Korea's citizens and soldiers, though it's more likely that none of them are aware the film exists.

The Interview is due for release October 10th, 2014. "Apparently Kim Jong Un plans on watching The Interview," Rogen Tweets. "I hope he likes it!" Two nukes up, by the sound of it. Or possibly one radioactive rotten tomato.

If North Korea attacked the US over this film then Seth Rogen and James Franco would become actual saviours of North Korea which would be funnier than the movie itself.

O, bullshit. NKs been whining and throwing tantrums for decades, and they've never been serious. The second North Korea actually decides to attack the US, China would withdraw their support immediately. They have no power and no allies who would ever actually stand by them in a war with the US.

Of course, who can say how well trained or rational their leadership is? He could really think he's some invincible demigod for all we know. :lol:

[HUSTLEMAN]

I saw that earlier and I simply had to laugh, it was so funny and prove the insanity of "The Glorious Leader." If they do attack us all we have to do is show up and well, that will be the end of N. Korea as we see it today.

[TheN3rdyOutcast]

North Korea is just pulling the crybaby card, like they always do. How are they supposed to nuke us when they're 20 years behind in technology and only talk to China.

Plus, if they were serious about their threats, then the US would have marched over and given them a 1st class beatdown.

I really hope that's the case.

[Gamma Male]

I really hope that's the case.

:lol:What happened to you being a pacifist?

[GeekGirl1]

And WHY are the Chinese still friends with this crazy dictator? He takes communism to another level!

[Horatio Nelson]

I *almost* wish we could go give the NK "government" a little taste of reality.

Their people and soldiers would never fight willingly.

It still makes me laugh how stupid they sound.

It's a fucking movie! Calm your virgin tits!

Hahahaha yes!!!!


If they attacked us is say it would be a month of fighting and they would be done but it won't happen.

[CharlieHorse]

this might sound mean or dumb, but i kinda actually want nk to "declare" war on someone so that we can smack them and keep them from ever having stupid tantrums again.

But obviously i believe that war and fighting and conflict will solve nothing, so it will probably keep going on this way.

[Harry Smith]

Hahahaha yes!!!!

It's always fun to play war

[Body odah Man]

If there's a nuke and everyone dies, Seth Rogan and other person will really be in trouble with Saint Peter. Let's hope they're bluffing

[Calyx]

This is the same North Korea which said they would nuke the USA and I haven't seen any nukes fired yet. When it comes to North Korea and the West they are all talk and no action.

[Vlerchan]

Like Iraq?

[CosmicNoodle]

This,^
I call bullshit, NK isn't going to do jack shit.

[UnknownError]

They aren't going to do anything. The movie is in bad taste however imo.

[Kurgg]

Just stop all material help to North Korea. Then they will stop it.

I think China supports North Korea only because it doesn't want any American troops near their capital.

[thatcountrykid]

It's always fun to play war

How am I "playing war"

Like Iraq?

No because Iraq it wasn't a clear distinguishable army. North Korea it would be.

[plebble]

Don't worry, the US are in NATO. If North Korea bomb USA, then all the countries in NATO are required to fight back.

[Vlerchan]

No because Iraq it wasn't a clear distinguishable army.
It was in the beginning.

Like'd be in Korea.

[thatcountrykid]

It was in the beginning.

Like'd be in Korea.

In the very begging yes and that stage ended fairly fast.

[Vlerchan]

In the very begging yes and that stage ended fairly fast.
And I'm saying that's what would happen in Korea too.

[thatcountrykid]

And I'm saying that's what would happen in Korea too.

Ok I thought you were saying current Iraq and afganistan

[matt_tgr]

I think that Kim Jong-Retardong should shut the hell up. Nobody's afraid of that chubby monkey with a ridiculous haircut. He should hire a proper hair stylist before even remotely thinking about his country, let alone declaring a war on the US. HAHA, what a MORON!

[PinkFloyd]

It'll be like Team America: World police all over again. :lol:

[Gamma Male]

It'll be like Team America: World police all over again. :lol:

AMERICA, FUCK YEAH! COMING AGAIN TO SAVE THE FUCKING DAY!:yeah:

[PinkFloyd]

america, fuck yeah! Coming again to save the fucking day!:yeah:

FREEDOM IS THE ONLY WAY :yeah:

[thatcountrykid]

freedom is the only way :yeah:

[PinkFloyd]

terrorists your game is through!

The elite of North Korea has access to luxury and all the Western stuff.
