And as far as Hollywood is concerned, the rest of us can go pound sand.

Well, here's a big "back at you, assholes" to Hollyweird.

I (regrettably) rented that POS movie "The Social Network" from Redbox this past weekend. What garbage! If that's what passes for an Academy Award caliber movie these days, then Hollyweird is dead...which, given what they've "contributed" to society lately, would be the only real contribution that they could give our culture.

Oddly enough, the writer of Red Dawn wrote the script for the recently released video game called Homefront, which details a 2022 invasion of the US by combined North Korean, Japanese, Asian forces. I suspect China was not mentioned here for much the same reason:
You don't offend someone you reasonably believe will kick your ass or at least greatly embarrass you with little provocation. Hence, OK to offend Americans or Christians in general because they are mostly harmless, not OK to offend Chinese or Muslims.
