bad things happen everyday, they knew what they were doing, the issue is they knew they were taking the piss and wussed out anyway. stick to your guns! it's just a movie for chr* st sakes.
why this is a special case now vs a history of bad comedies that happily stick poked powerful figures and was no bigs is a mystery... or is it? could be a convenient excuse as the bottom line is now affected. and a major movie company is super embarrassed over some leaks.
and many have already coined it an 'issue of national security' despite the pres himself suggesting that people head to theatres. and USDHS confirming no credible threats.
fact is, and no small thanks to the oversaturation of social media now, people are being manipulated into losing their sh*t.
on that token though, I take great offense to the suggestion that propaganda is all-powerful and someone like myself is too ignorant to realize the cause/effect. that we are all powerless to its influence. we're not all morans you know.
in the end, this whole scenario has been super interesting if only to witness in real-time how situations such as this explode into so many directions, in many cases bordering on the ridiculous.
