North Korea denounces James Franco-Seth Rogen movie ‘The Interview’
By Dan Zinski
North Korea may be a weird rogue state that lives in its own time bubble, trapped forever in the 1950s, but they still occasionally receive news from the rest of the world.

The fascist dictatorship has found out about the new James Franco-Seth Rogen comedy ‘The Interview,” in which the two actors play journalists who conspire with the US government to assassinate North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. And…they’re not happy about it.
It’s a shock I know, but North Korea has absolutely no sense of humor about a Hollywood movie that makes fun of the idea of murdering their beloved leader. An NK government spokesman has released a statement denouncing the film and everyone involved (via The Telegraph).
"There is a special irony in this storyline as it shows the desperation of the US government and American society.A film about the assassination of a foreign leader mirrors what the US has done in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Ukraine And let us not forget who killed [President John F.] Kennedy – Americans.In fact, President [Barack] Obama should be careful in case the US military wants to kill him as well."
All right, so let me clear a couple things up for the North Koreans. First of all, the US government had nothing to do with making The Interview. In this country we have what is known as free enterprise. That’s probably a tough concept for you Communist wack-jobs to understand.
Second, it was Cubans who murdered Kennedy, not Americans. Get your conspiracy theories straight.
Third…well, I’m not even going to touch that last sentence. I don’t want to wind up on a watch list.
North Korea, lighten the hell up already. It’s a James Franco movie. It will suck anyway.
