“This is now a story of Americans changing their movie to make North Koreans happy…That is a very damning story.” http://t.co/sBVVXMK6h0

Many of us who have spent even part of our lives working in the film industry, particularly those who have committed the unpardonable sin of not adhering religiously to the orthodox liberal line, cannot but grin at the release of the hacked emails from the bosses of Sony Pictures. We were right all along about these self-described liberals and progressives and now we have proof — they are pond scum.
The North Korea angle is a feint by the hackers I reckon.
It amazes me that organizations attach their internal networks to the internet. Where I work, we have an internal development network and an externally connected network.
The general consensus among people I know is that they weren’t interested in this movie, now with North Korea going ape, they want to see what all the fuss is over. I think its a marketing boon for Sony and most people could really care less about what executive’s salaries are or the internal drama of what happens at someone’s else’s work.
I work for a much smaller company than Sony, but we still get department heads bickering with each other using the reply all, it happens.
Roger Simon should know that upon hearing about his characterization of Sony executives, the half-frozen scum on my back yard pond rose up in outrage.
Besides these emails showing Hollywood to be undercover racists, it also demonstrates thier dysfunction.

Who’s ronery now?
The link in his article to a Michael Ledeen post was also very interesting. It implies that Snowden was a dupe of some foreign intelligence services, and that at least some of the stuff he dumped was fake – ie the hack on Merkel’s phone never happened. Also some speculation about Feinstein’s true motives in her torture report, as well as accuracy concerns. How much of the documents they used were also fake?
“-ie the hack on Merkel’s phone never happened.”
Says who, an American spy agency?
Apart from directly spying on everyone, disinformation is their stock-in-trade.
If the movie is changed, the Commies just won the second Koreran War.
If they do change it, it should end with Kim hung, drawn, and quartered by cheering masses of his own starving people.
Phantom – “Roger Simon should know that upon hearing about his characterization of Sony executives, the half-frozen scum on my back yard pond rose up in outrage”
– – and who could blame them/it, no self respecting pond scum would ever want to be compared to exec-class Progs.
Seriously, what has pond scum ever done to deserve being characterized as no different than a Hollywood executive?
It may be slimy green scuzz that reeks of rot and corruption, but it isn’t actively trying to destroy Western Civilization and f- its way through the youth of an entire nation.
The same cannot be said of Hollywood.
Gotta agree with sentiment in link. Never assume your conversations are private. The best approach is to assume everything you say online will be made public.
Using common sense would be a good idea. Not being a self-righteous hypocrite is probably a good thing too.
As for NK and the movie – don’t change a thing, I want to see this movie, it sounds really funny.
told my SIL about 20 years ago to have 2 computers, and never link the off line to the on line. After about 15 years in IT he finally learned. I guess a buck 40 IQ ain’t what it used to be:-)))
As to the hack, beer and popcorn time
kosher popcorn of course
“Where I work, we have an internal development network and an externally connected network.”
Yup, same here. Stupid people are their own worst enemy.
This hacking exposure shouldn’t come as a surprise. People with power in high places are not nice and polite, they’re venal and hateful just like everyone else. They could just hide it better until now.
