On the off chance that anything actually did happen you can bet some piece of shite lawyer would sue Sony and the theaters because they knew there was a threat. And some POS judge would probably buy it.

Im sure the lawyers of these companies told them it just isnt worth it.

I'm sure some of the people who saw the movie premiere in LA said the same thing.

I wonder if Trey Parker and Matt Stone will be allowed to make any more "Team America" movies.

You don't think lawyers are part of the pussification of America?

Sounds like their distribution partners pulled out. I think they said that the 5 biggest theatre chains all decided not to show the film.

What I would like to know is, is there really a group associated with North Korea that could pose a legitimate threat to America? They're really capable of blowing up theatres here?

If so, maybe I've been underestimating North Korea.

Sony pulled it because the exhibitors were pulling it.

They need to find a way to release this film through YouTube or online etc..

The movie means nothing but the message is American can be bullied into reversing 1st Amendment Rights. Next time Iran or ISIS could do the same thing to New York Times etc..

Its 6 years worth of Obama beating down America and everything its stood for. Obama is a black Muslim, the exact opposite of what America was built on. You're in a different world if you ignore his ant-American tone. Who goes to West Point Academy and then speaks negatively the west point graduates about military force?? This is 6 years of negative talk and America rolling over and people don't know when to stand up and fight anymore.

What is North Korea or any other country for that matter starts demanding that we pull multiple films because they are too Americanized, racy, violent, etc.?
Should we then give in to all those demands as well for fear of possible future legal actions?

I'm pretty sure the pussification of America has been mostly driven by two parties, the media and lawyers.
