North Korea Is Calling ‘The Interview’ An Act of Terrorism

North Korea continues to be outraged about the upcoming spy assassination comedy The Interview with Seth Rogen and James Franco. In fact, they’ve gone so far as to call it “an act of terrorism” and “a war action”.

We think that’s a bit of stretch, but, apparently, “If the U.S. administration connives at and patronizes the screening of the film, it will invite a strong and merciless countermeasure,” according to a North Korea’s Foreign Ministry spokesman.

Well, if that strong and merciless countermeasure is a film where they go after Obama, it would be interesting to see where they will find a black actor in North Korea.
