When Richard J Daley tried to ban Mike Royko's book, Royko was thrilled. Nothing was better for book sales than somebody-- no less than the Mayor of Chicago, the "Boss" himself-- trying to ban it.

I think something similar could happen with this movie. Now, even if the movie isn't any good people will pay for it just because North Korea tried to ban it-- worldwide. It'll become a "must have" because "Freedom of the Press".

North Korea gets touchy and the US messes their broadband so the game continues. Mind you i will have to be cautious as I have to agree with President Obama when he mildly made a criticism of the company delaying the film in cinemas.

Kevin McCarthy, the fastest speaker of the House of Reps, quits Congress in the end of year. Some say that it's because Ghislaine snitched on him.
