The movie The Interview, written, directed and starring Seth Rogan, will doubtless be full of nob jokes, sexual innuendo, bare breasts, slapstick and probably would be quite funny. For which, in order to interpret such things, you need nothing more than ‘a sense of humour’.

Which is banned in North Korea. Along with most other ‘freedoms’ that we take for granted. Freedom to eat. To speak when we want. To eat pizza. To get blind drunk and throw up on someone else’s car.

And this movie, that we’ll never get to see, also includes the assassination of Kim Jong Un, the esteemed (phah) leader of the North Korean people. A man so clever, gifted, intelligent, wordly, experienced and just that he was a natural for the role. And that he was the son of Kim Jong Il; that didn’t hurt the cause much either. Along with the fact that there is no Korean word for ‘vote’ but there are seventy-six for ‘army’, ‘execution’ and ‘prison camp for life’.

So the North Korean government hacked into Sony Pictures computers, took loads of sensitive information and threated to expose it all if the film was shown. Oh, and while we’re there, we’ll blow up any cinemas that choose to show the movie. Nice. That’s what Koreans call ‘politics’ and we call terrorism.

Sony Pictures immediately stopped release of the film everywhere, even though that’s pissing the $48million it cost to make down the drain. But heh, we can’t be risking our cinema-goers, and more importantly, our insurance policy after a threat of terrorism.

Actually, you can. You bloody should and you almost must do just that. George Clooney said so and I agree with him.

So here’s what you do. You open the film in 1000 cinemas across America on Boxing Day, as planned. And if no-one gets killed in the first week, then you open it here too in February.

If you give in to terrorist threats you are unworthy. You are cowardly. You are a nob. The next thing there’ll be a song someone doesn’t like, or a play, or a stand-up comedian, and the Koreans will be demanding its removal from our lives. Well bollox to that. Where’s freedom of speech? Where’s artistic integrity? What’s it all for if you run away when its threatened?

President Obama has promised ‘revenge’ in time. Then got on a plane for a 17 day holiday in Hawaii. His doctors recommended it because his putting arm was getting repetitive strain so he needs to rest it and smoke Cuban cigars. A proper president would have nuked Pyongyang by now.

Kim Jong Un is a little chubby baby throwing his toys out of his pram. He needs a good slap…

BOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!!!

Only joking. Not that Koreans would understand.

Happy Saturday
