You know as my inaugural entry into this blog of mine I figured I would talk about something that is both fascinating and terrifying at the same time.
This whole business with Sony Pictures cancelling the release of the movie 'The Interview', is just a sad and relevant commentary on our society now-a-days. So because the now infamous 'Sony' hackers threatened to commit 9/11 attacks on theatres that show said film, the company decided to pull the movie for safety reasons. I'm sorry but I'm calling bullshit on this one. Could it be that the threats received about the movie are just a fortunate circumstance for Sony to have an excuse to pull what most certainly was likely to be a box-office bomb this holiday season. Even if pulling the movie was in fact based solely on the idea of safety, some theatres weren't even going to bother showing it even before these stupid threats surfaced.
So why is this more terrifying than annoying? Well now North Korea is threatening the United States with attacks against the White House if the U.S doesn't agree to a joint probe into these Sony hacks. If this suggested probe is to prove innocence, I feel like threatening to attack the wronged party is the opposite of what one must do to retain the opinion of innocence. I also feel like its only a matter of time before some moron on either side decides things have gone too far and World War 3 breaks out. I mean it seems as though North Korea has the balls to try something so idiotic as to start the third war to end all wars. Here's the BIG problem: Compared to the first two times around, this one will definitely be the one to end all others.
