The terrorists(or fake terrorists) won here, plain and simple. I honestly cant believe we are even having this conversation, or that pulling the plug was even an option here. However, to play devils advocate, I wonder what would happen if say, China were to make a movie about assassinating the president of the US, what sort of reaction our government would have. Just because North Korea is a small country with few means to really get at us doesn't make it a good idea to write a film with a plot about killing their leader.

That said knowing Seth Rogen movies, Im sure it ended up with them smoking weed with KJU and having a party out of it, so he shouldn't be that upset...



If China made such a movie, I would expect the government reaction to be a sternly written statement saying something.

"Death of a President" is movie about solving the assassination of George W. Bush with British production companies, so it's been done. I don't recall going to war over it or anything.

Personally, if I were President and a foreign country made a raunchy comedy about assassinating me, I'd give it a try before condemning it with a low review score.
