Laughing at Sony, North Korea, and Obama
PRESIDENT OBAMA officially acknowledged that North korea is responsible for the recent "cyber attacks" against the Sony corporation, even though sony is a Japenese company (with an American CEO), and even though the word "cyber" is stupid and meaningless, and even though the Sony corporation has already surrendered to North Korea. Obama said he wishes the cheap electronic entertainment dealer had consulted with him first, before turning yellow ( if wishes were horses, etc.), but that, by heavens, he, big bad O, fully intends to do something about it. Precisely what, the President did not say. Options include a full scale Desert Storm" style military invasion of North Korea, or the mere rattling of State Department sabers, the shaking of the fist of the incoming secretary of Defense, or, the most drastic, the flooding of North Korean mailboxes with American print media advertising. The fact that none of these options has any chance of success doubtless will NOT prevent their implementation, as is customary with American foreign policy solutions. North Korea is hardly justified being angry with Sony. Sony is guilty of nothing except maliciously ridiculing the North Korean head of state, who is rather, shall we say, "weird", and fantasizing about said head of stated being murdered, humorously. North Korea might benefit from acquiring a sense of humor: doing so would enable them to take their minds off themselves, at least fleetingly. Ironically, the North Korean dictator is known to be an avid fan of American movies, and is a friend of former basketball star Dennis Rodman, he of the multicolored hair. Any friend of rodman's is a potential savorer of comedy. Couldn't we all just have a good laugh, and move on?
