U.S. ponders response to cyber attack on Sony said to be led by North Korea

     A new event happening is the North Korea hack on the entertainment empire, Sony. Recently, the hack has been linked to North Korea. The purpose was to pull the movie The Interview (2014). The movie, which features Seth Rogan and James Franco, is about a pair of idiot new reporters who go to kill the president of North Korea, Kim Jung Un. North Korea responded quickly and stated how this is an act of terrorism. Honestly, I'm even surpriesd they found out about it. North Korea is so far behind our technology that other countries see them as something to laugh at. I do not think the movie should have even been made, but after seeing it, I can see it as one of the funniest movies I have every seen. The movie does make fun of Asians a lot throughout the film, but not as much as Kim Jung Un. The scene where he gets blown up by a tank missile is a slap in the face for all North Koreans, who see him as the all great and powerful leader. The movie is something that should not even happened in the first place. James Franco and Seth Rogan are famous for making fun of political icons, such as President Obama, and the United States congress, but making a movie about killing the leader of the country you are not a part of is an act of war. I personally think that Sony should have refused to make the movie and never released it. I think that it was all fake. I believe that after the movie was announced people had mixed opinions about the movie and refused to see it for its nature. So Sony took advantage of it and staged the whole hacking so people will demand for the movie to come back and be released. The movie was down for two days before going back to its original release. This generated a lot of money and a new release worldwide. Coincidence, I think not.
