It seems that North Korea fought Hollywood and won.

Good.

Somebody needs to.

Earlier this week, Sony canceled its Christmas Day release of “The Interview” — a satire about the assassination of Kim Jong Un — after purportedly receiving hacks, threats and pressure from North Korea.

We shouldn’t expect less of the totalitarian government, long considered the most brutal on earth. Kim Jong Un and his cult of personality, just like his father’s before him, have created a suffocating and artless world for North Koreans. (I’ve always imagined them living in black and white).
