I find the whole conversation about this very unreal. And the fact that politicians from left and right are jumping on the same bandwagon -- oh why can they never do this when the cause is a worthy one? You almost know that if they are going to agree on something then both sides are full of it right up to their eye-brows. I so disagree with Sony about making this movie in the first place. If they would not have made such a movie about any other public figure in the world, the issue is a little more complex than censorship. Say the movie had been made about a figure who could unmistakably have been identified as being Sarah Palin? Glenn Beck? George Bush? Hilary Clinton? Barack Obama? Mitt Romney? What then? Ive heard people talk as if this is the most hilarious entertainment idea anyone has ever come up with: to taunt the touchy leader of an hermetic nation that still has a major nervous tic over what went down at the end of World War II and what went down during the Korean War -- with a major motion picture movie that had an advertising budget of $36 million. Just dont take a stand against censorship in this case when you never stood up against it for any other reason. Because it is so clear it is not freedom of expression youre protecting, but something else.
