In the most shocking development yet, the Sony attackers have threatened a 9/11-like attack on movie theaters that screen Seth Rogen and James Franco’s North Korean comedy “The Interview.”

They also released the promised “Christmas gift” of files. The contents of the files are unknown but it’s called “Michael Lynton,” who is the CEO of Sony Pictures Entertainment.

“The world will be full of fear,” the message reads. “Remember the 11th of September 2001. We recommend you to keep yourself distant from the places at that time. (If your house is nearby, you’d better leave.) Whatever comes in the coming days is called by the greed of Sony Pictures Entertainment

Gee.... this would lead me to believe that the hackers are from North Korea. I didn’t know they even had the internet in North Korea.

Is anyone else starting to think maybe the studios are just spinning this into a PR campaign at this point for a crappy movie?

No...

Right?

I find it nearly impossible to swallow that the source of this breach has not been discovered by this point, and shareholders of Sony should be asking some serious questions as to why so much valuable property was left where it was accessible in the first place.

If Sony Pictures were smart they’d send Kim Jung Un a gross of Twinkies and move on.

I think this is so cool. Seeing Sony Liberals squirm as their secrets come out. The MSM is having a field day with this.

Oh wait, Gruber is no longer a story even though companies are dropping people as the enrollment gets pushed out yet again.

Strange.....

It wasn’t accessible, it was hacked. From what I have heard, the primary vector that was used to gain access was one of Aaron Sorkin’s accounts. Guess he does not use good passwords.

Theaters should give out free Kim masks.

The Norks’ heads would explode.

I did. But then, wouldn't the perpetrators be opening themselves up to a visit from the authorities? Isn't this akin to yelling 'fire!' in a crowded theatre?

This is interesting. Terrorists denouncing fake terrorism in a movie, and threatening to hurt people (I see no death threat)? Who are these people? They have got to be agents of some government.
