Kim Jung Un to US: Ban The Interview or else attack!

[Jackalope]

I get your drift, but man, they're just people - people who have been indoctrinated and exploited, and they're the ones who will suffer because of the Great Asshole's ego.

Like I said. Mercy-killing. :/ Do you really expect that indoctrination to break if we were to do anything about their suffering?

Of course not. However, I'd bet that a great many of the average people don't really give a shit about Kim Jong-fuckhead, or any of the rest of the lot - and as long as he keeps his shit north of the DMZ, nor do I.

Though what if someone made a movie wherein the entire royal family is the target of an assassination team by a foreign film studio as part of a comedy? What would England's reaction be, I wonder?

Doesn't that happen in Shanghai Knights?

Honestly we hold little to no reverence for those in power. A few obsessed with royalty might be miffed, everyone else will give 0 fucks.

I just realized the bad guy in Shanghai Knights is little finger from GoT. Awesome!

[Creed of Heresy]

Exactly.

Only third-world shitholes have leaders who get so jealous about this sort of trivial crap...and even then, most of those third world countries don't give a fuck about this sort of trivial crap. Only the countries with absolutely psychopathic leaders like these guys ever have populations fanatically devoted to them in some way. And never do you see it reinforced by willful expressions of gratitude for some truly great generosity. Always you see it enforced by fear.

Maybe there are some who don't fall in line with KJU's bullshit, though. I just remembered the hard labor camps. They're always where the political dissenters and those who tried to escape go to. And they're always pretty full...

I do find all this slightly ironic. I can just imagine the outrage that would occur if another country made a film about assassinating Obama...

Actually, Mericans don't watch films made by another country.

I get the sense it's like the boy who cried wolf though. They will kick off over something stupid eventually, there's only so much kicking and screaming they can do until they really want to get everyone's attention.

And that would be when the rest of the world curb-stomps NK into a glass parking lot. At that point, China & Dennis Rodman can't save them.

Probably something along the lines of, "What a silly waste of ammunition!"
