Speaking from a Canadian perspective ... which one was Obama again? They've all kinda blurred together in recent years.

The black one.

"If you threaten Hollywood, we'll punch you in the servers."

If it *WAS* the U.S., that's absolutely terrifying. It would mean debate about net neutrality and what have you is taking place in a world with a much larger issue: someone, somewhere, has a big red button that can disconnect entire countries.

Screwing up the internet is not that hard. The DNS system is hardly perfect.

What would be required to disconnect a country from the world? How would you do that? Like this?

I imagine that NKs Internet has a huge bottleneck since it only routes through China. It's a heck of a lot easier to kill a nations Internet when they're an isolated bunch and effectively have ony one route in and out.

So apparently our glorious US government took down North Koreas internet for a whopping 9.5 hours. Kim Jong Un had to go 1/3 of a day without access to youporn.

Im not impressed with our retaliation. Take them down permanently. 9.5 hours is a joke of a response.

So apparently they are going to release the Interview after all, just not in large Theater chains.

They'd have to do it physically, but even then, things can be repaired.

Their internet was also reportedly up and down and 'spotty'.

Anyways, even if it WAS us, we wouldn't fess up to it.

Edit: 'god-fearing' in the title, the heck?

Fear of God, despite what it seems to mean, actually refers to reverence/humility/piety and is usually used to imply that someone who doesn't fear God is a heathen, while those who do are good Christians.
Reminds me of this comic, especially panels 3 and 4.

Good ol' Calvin and Hobbes.

And now Kim Jong un is resorting to insults and trying to get a rise out of is by calling Obama a monkey. I honestly think that we should take the adage 'don't feed the trolls' to heart and just ignore Korea. However, most trolls dont wield nukes or are hermitic dictatorships waging cyberwarfare, so we can't exactly not ignore them.

the real problem is they are in fact a threat to south korea, who is our friend down the street.

But mostly I think they start threatening people and making violent overtures when they need things like resources from outside.

Okay, we'll give you some food if you stop sinking s korea's ships for awhile.

If they didn't have nukes, it would be a heck of a lot easier to ignore their antics.

Seriously, NKs antics pretty much exactly describe a troll and we keep 'feeding the troll', in other words, give them exactly what they want.
