SEOUL, South Korea-
Thursday, June 26
North Korea has warned the U.S. government that the release
of a new American comedy about a plot to assassinate leader Kim Jong Un would
be an “act of war that we will never
tolerate”. An unidentified spokesman for North Korea’s Foreign Ministry averred
in state media Wednesday that if the
U.S. government doesn’t block the movie’s release, it will face “stern” and (my
favorite) “merciless” retaliation.
The movie ‘triggering’ these threats was
thought to be “The Interview” starring Seth
Rogen and James Franco as a producer and a talk -show host who land an
exclusive interview with the North Korean dictator and are then asked by the
CIA to assassinate him.
The spokesman
went on to say that the “reckless U.S.
provocative insanity” of utilizing a “gangster filmmaker” to challenge the
North’s leadership is responsible for “a gust of hatred and rage” among the North’s people and army.
SEOUL, South Korea-

North Korea fired three short-range ‘projectiles’ off its
east coast Thursday, just one day after it warned of retaliation against an
American comedy film (involving a plot to kill North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong
Un). These ‘projectiles’ flew
approximately 120 miles before landing in the ocean between North Korea and
Japan.
I hope an Obama
administration ‘spokesman’ or ‘spokeswoman’ doesn’t claim that “this was an
obvious and understandable reaction to this insensitive, rogue film”. (Since
this was a Hollywood film I think we’re safe in that regard).
It has become
commonplace now for terrorists to threaten to kill people and blow things up
every time an American-made film comes out that doesn’t portray them in a
positive, flattering manner.
Leave it to Kim
Jong Un to call a film-release an “act
of war”! Someone’s not getting enough
attention!
Men, corporate types, rich people, and Christians
-among others- routinely get mocked in movies, television shows and the ‘culture’
in general. In some cases they are even portrayed as evil. Or intolerant! Yet they rarely even defend
themselves.
Even our liberal
friends-to my knowledge- haven’t threatened to blow anything up or harm anyone
with the pending release of ‘Atlas Shrugged 3’.
In fact,
sometimes old white guys make fun of themselves.
How many times have you seen one wearing an “Old Fart” cap?
I’m guessing Kim
Jong Un doesn’t own one.
