An outraged North Korea has threatened to attack US landmarks over The Interview – Sony Pictures Entertainment’s comedy film that stars James Franco and Seth Rogan as journalists instructed to assassinate North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un (played by Randall Park) after booking an interview with him. The government claims to have clear evidence that the US government engineered the controversial movie as a propaganda attack against North Korea.
North Korea’s furious state news agency, Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) published an enraged post: “The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) has already launched the toughest counteraction. Nothing is more serious miscalculation than guessing that just a single movie production company is the target of this counteraction. Our target is all the citadels of the U.S. imperialists who earned the bitterest grudge of all Koreans.
“The army and people of the DPRK are fully ready to stand in confrontation with the U.S. in all war spaces including cyber warfare space to blow up those citadels.
“Our toughest counteraction will be boldly taken against the White House, the Pentagon and the whole U.S. mainland, the cesspool of terrorism, by far surpassing the “symmetric counteraction” declared by Obama”.
Interestingly, KCNA in its post continuously denied its association with the Sony hack that happened last month in which a group of hackers, the Guardians of Peace, infiltrated the computer network of Sony Pictures Entertainment and stole a huge number of confidential documents. The FBI, however, revealed that the cyber attack was backed by the North Korean government, which was livid at Sony for producing The Interview.
Sony decided to pull The Interview after US cinemas refused to screen it owing to the threats from hackers to launch a ‘9/11 style attack’ on the cinemas. The company then released it online on December 24th through Google Play, SeeTheInterview.com, Xbox Video, and YouTube Movies apart from a limited release in 331 theatres in US. The Interview amassed $1 million on Christmas day according to Deadline.
Recently, North Korea described US President Barack Obama as a monkey for inciting theatres to screen The Interview. It also blamed America for shutting down DPRK’s Internet (websites of North Korea’s major state media went dead for hours) amid the hacking row over the movie. “Obama always goes reckless in words and deeds like a monkey in a tropical forest,” an unidentified spokesman at the commission’s Policy Department said in a statement carried by KCNA.

COS BABY YOU’RE A FIREWORK!
you sir deserve a cookie
HAHHHAAHAHHA!! The movie is very funny!
You missed a quotation mark after the word citadel, in the first quote after the second paragraph.
Mainland
Mainland is a name given to a large landmass in a region (as contrasted with a nearby island or islands), or to the largest of a group of islands in an archipelago. Sometimes its residents are called “Mainlanders”. Because of its larger area, a mainland almost always has a much larger population than its associated islands, and mainlander culture and politics sometimes threaten to dominate those of the islands.
Mainland United States, as opposed to the state of Hawaii and overseas territories like the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. The terms “U.S. Mainland” and “The Mainland” are commonly used in Hawaii, but less commonly on the U.S. mainland itself. The term “continental United States” is used, but is ambiguous in sometimes excluding Alaska and sometimes not. The term “contiguous United States” is more precise in excluding both Alaska and Hawaii. A common term used to refer to the continental U.S. excluding Alaska is “the lower 48”, but Hawaii has a lower latitude than any other state. (The word “mainland” occurs numerous times in Hawaiian law, and apparently refers to any part of the United States outside of Hawaii.[2])
North Korea better calm the fuck down.
Sure, after we’ve all destroyed ourselves over stupidity, I’m sure they will
It’s a film for goodness sake. Korea, why so serious?
North Korea. The guys down south aren’t whiny little pussies. 🙂
so russia’s nuclear missile for defense plan is a pretty good one about now. And yet, Obama thought it was for offence. Good job unqualified pile of shit.
Offense* Who is unqualified?
Offence and offense are the same except offence is British and offense is American.
I really just dont understand what you are talking about? How does Obama think its for offense? I dont see him nuking people.
So Russia’s defense nuclear missile idea is looking pretty good about now. Maybe Obama will now see why it was a good idea after all.
why don’t they just nuke us already instead of having us on the edge of our seat waiting for it to happen? they’re all TALK. They talk the “TALK”, but do they walk the “WALK”?
seeing as this article is posted on anonhq.com does it mean that anonymous also believes that n korea backed the xmas ddos on sony?
If anon claimed it was them that attacked it could easily dispel a lot of dangerous tension. Put the blame on an elusive cyber group to avoid WWIII
= hmm sounds tasty almost.
This is the sign of stupidity right here

I guess you can’t upgrade easily in North Korea.
I guess it’s hard to upgrade in North Korea. Sorry about that.
The only thing that makes sense in this article is referring Obama as a monkey
I bet you are a monkey too My.
The movie sucked, and i can understand the or a joke
But the truth is i thought this movie is provocative and low, logic the outrage reactions…. What not mean nuke shit over it….
Crazy world ….
Go ahead and make a try NK! Gerard Butler will kick your ass!
First off Sony deserved what they got. With the tensions between the United States and North Korea right now the movie should have never been made in the first place. Korea is more prepared to attack the United States then people think. President Obama is a freaking idiot and should be impeached period. Sorry folks but he is a shit for president. With all the excutive orders and taking alot of our rights as American Citizens away. He has completely violated numerous parts of our Constitution on what our country was founded on. If the show was on other foot and the movie was about Obama getting assassinated it would be the same thing. The leader of no country wants to see a movie of them being assassinated regardless if it is a joke or not. If north Korea decides to attack the United States life as we all know it will be over. Why because some dumb fuck wanted to make a stupid fucking movie. Was it worth it Sony Pictures you bunch of ignorant fucks
lol…
I hope he does something as stupid as attack us. We can finally have a great reason to be over on the East side and will give Russia and China a run for their money to see their true colors.
we all now that Korea don’t play well with others but we r still fucking with them but ow well usa rocks
