I think nb makes a fair point...I'm against censorship but I'm also not a fan of movies like this because it just seems like an excuse for people to indulge in dumb stereotypes about other cultures. The government has declared North Korea as the officially sanctioned enemy of America, so it's OK to indulge in the most racist anti-Asian humor about the people there...good luck doing the same thing with Jews, blacks or women.
Also the angry reaction of people at Sony's decision to cancel what was probably a really dumb tasteless comedy saying "the terrorists have won" or that it shows the decline of the country. OK I'm in favor of free speech but have some perspective, is this really the hill you choose to die on? It's not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, and at times it seems like Americans are in danger of blowing the issue out of proportion for ideological reasons just as much as North Koreans.
