Proves one thing, you can't trust Koreans...

Wait.

It's the beginning of the first North Korean Reich. . Oh wait, it's already started.

It's oddly reminiscent of the UN Meeting scene from Iron Sky, where North Korea tries to take credit for creating the Nazi invasion fleet from the moon, and everyone else bursts out laughing. 

...except that in this case people are taking North Korea seriously.

I'll admit, I don't know who the heck did it. You can't trust and news media anymore - most of it is twisted so people hear what they want to hear. I doubt anyone really knows who did it. It might of been some idiot in America even who decided to hack Sony. In short, we don't really know who did it.

I still firmly believe that if North Korea had just rolled their eyes and dismissed the film as crass shlock (like I do whenever hollywood seems to think that England is a country ruled by the Queen that entirely comprises of one city and a few desloate villages) rather than kick up a fuss then this wouldn't have happened. NK holds such a tight hold on censorship that there's no way this film could ever be used as a rallying point - and it's not supposed to be a rallying point. It's a mindless comedy doomed to sit at the back of Netflix for two years before vanishing from the public memory. Or at least it would have been...

Perhaps I have no empathy for the human race, but to me this whole scandal just gets funnier and funnier. First NK accidentally creates publicity over a mediocre-looking product, then e-mails are leaked exposing executives who act exactly like parodies of themselves, then people begin joking that NK are responsible, then the whole thing threatens to explode into physical conflict, and now people genuinely questioning if NK is responsible.

Again, this would all make a much better film that The Interview...

TO Mr. Vertigo, I'm unaware of the Streisand Effect.  Can you enlighten me?

I posted the 28 seconds the hackers/terrorists don't want you to see.  Sorry, I didn't know that the link was to a site discouraged by BiM.  Here's an alternate link (Warning- pretty graphic high PG13 violence:)

Max Butcher, I agree that this story seems to be getting sillier.  If NK is involved in this, I don't think it's directly, especially if they're threatening to bomb U.S. theatres.  Now that the American government yesterday is now saying officially that NK is involved somehow, I'm more skeptical than ever!  However, this is in line with Kim Jong-Un's thin skin!  His inability to handle criticism is greater than even Mr. Obama's.

I keep hearing about "No forced entry" into the Sony system.  This indicates the possiblity that a disgruntled employee may be involved.  What do you think?

I hear people saying also that this is a poorly-conceived publicity stunt from Sony.  That doesn't make sense, because they'd then have leaked their own scripts to 50 films an a digital print of the Annie remake, and public trust.  The losses are too great.

These are not the memes you're looking for.
