So what should be done about north korea's attempt to censor our media.?

They are preparing themselves for a possible real attack on them. The U.S. has done plenty to make them think that could happen from the U.S. track record of overthrowing leaders.

The U.S. could open discussion with them but countries do spy on each other. But putting an assassination plot of a sitting leader into a movie is going too far and too real.

Well it's too late now. Dumb*ss theaters and Sony already caved.

What they should have done is...nothing at all. Just continue on as though nothing was wrong.

I guess the theaters and Sony have forgotten that this is N. Korea we're talking about. They've been making threats for over 50 years and what have they actually done? Nothing. Which is exactly what our reaction should have been.

Should N. Korea face punishment if they were really responsible for the hacker attack on Sony? Sure, but at this point I'm not sure what's left for us to do. We don't sell stuff to N. Korea. They don't buy stuff from us. We barely talk to them because, well, who wants to waste their time talking to crazy? And anyways they don't listen to us. They only stopped their previous rocket tests after China performed the diplomatic equivalent of a b*tch-slap and told them to knock it the **** off.

Sony should not have given in, that being said no cinema was going to show it after the threat.
