Just because you can do it

Obviously, I haven't seen The Interview, but I've never found Seth Rogen to be funny...Maybe if I were a 13-year-old boy?? I did see his interview with Stephen Colbert, and he really did seem like an awkward adolescent with the most annoying laugh.

So...My point is: Why in the world would anyone, least of all North Korea, take him seriously? Okay, probably because Kim Jong Un has the brain of a 13-year-old adolescent boy (with my sincere apologies to all teenage boys).

Despite all that, I don't believe in censorship, and I hate to see anyone kowtow to North Korea. However, in the interest of public safety, maybe filmmakers should think twice about what they put out there. This mess is sure costing them a bundle.

Remember when Rushdie wrote his book and had to go into hiding because of death threats and big chain bookstores pulled Satanic Verses after the fatwa?

Yup. But that was before they could take down our internets

My personal opinion is that Sony should never have made the movie in the first place. All countries don't believe in free speech. Like the OP said, just because Sony could make the movie doesn't mean they should have.

Besides, from the trailers I saw it wasn't that funny.

Oh I know. I was just saying this isn't the first time we've had to shut down access to something that is entertainment

Couldn't they have shut down Kim and Kanye instead?

We'll never get that lucky.

Add me to the list of people who don't find Seth Rogen to be funny.

That being said, I don't think it should have censored. Let the people vote with their money.
