I'm not kidding...  

 

 

Over a movie...

 

 

 

It turns out that North Korea doesn’t find much humor in a big-screen comedy about the assassination of its leader. The movie The Interviewis set to hit theaters in October and stars James Franco and Seth Rogen as a talk-show host and his producer who, after landing an interview with Kim Jong Un, are drafted by the CIA to kill him. Today, North Koreareleased a strongly worded statement through its state-run news agency, saying, “If the United States administration tacitly approves or supports the release of this film, we will take a decisive and merciless countermeasure.” The statement also described the movie as “an act of war that we will never tolerate.

Yeah I get it's satire, but since I first saw this trailer it seemed needlessly provocative. Even the great Charlie Chaplin knew you didn't parody a despot by name, as in The Great Dictator. Of course a world leader isn't going to take it lightly when a movie centers around him or her being assassinated. Just as I imagine Americans wouldn't take it lightly if a movie from Iran was a comedy about assassinating Obama, of even Bush during his presidency.

 

It just seems needlessly inflammatory to make a movie about killing not just a Kim-Jong-Un-like character, but Kim Jong Un himself.

      Unfortunately business is business especially when there are large sums of money on the table. Goes the same for player and ownership. Does not make it right either way.  Why would he not want to play for the niners? Closer to home with a team that has a chance of delivering a SB trophy.

      I don’t know if it’s him bad mouthing his former situation in public or my pettiness but either way I’m not a fan. Dude was on playoff teams getting paid millions to entertain. I’m not better that because and I am better than that. You don’t bad mouth your former employer in public. Esp after getting over paid and two, poor little Russian baby didn’t get the playing spot he wanted. Rod had him exactly where is was supposed to be.  He had a mean lip check and did defend our players. Specifically the devils game around Christmas where is our Haula on his ass. Cool. Thank you. But don’t talk poo about us. Because it make you look like Haula.    “need to get as far away as possible”. fug off. Didn’t see Burnsy bad mouthing and his play dropped off too.    sorry, but Orlov doesn’t get a pass from me. See you twice a year…

      I don't really care about your post at all. I just saw the direction of the discussion and this snippet from an article I read earlier in the day was a good spot to put non-Panthers info. I mostly don't care about the players personal lives. That's off the field/personal poo. Not really any of my business.  I also don't know him personally so what would be the point of congratulating him outside basically attempting to draw attention to myself like so many in the social media/internet realm.
