N. Korea Blames US For Internet Outage, Compares Obama to "a Monkey"
Reuters reports that North Korea's government has publicly blamed the U.S. for the widespread internet outages that the country has recently experienced (including today), and taken the opportunity to lambaste President Obama, as well. From the article: The National Defence Commission, the North's ruling body, chaired by state leader Kim Jong Un, said Obama was responsible for Sony's belated decision to release the action comedy "The Interview", which depicts a plot to assassinate Kim. "Obama always goes reckless in words and deeds like a monkey in a tropical forest," an unnamed spokesman for the commission said in a statement carried by the official KCNA news agency, using a term seemingly designed to cause racial offence that North Korea has used before.
The reporting on the hacking seems to be missing something... what hole did they use, or was this just a password leak? What were the other movies (We know about "The Interview"...) that were affected by this hack?
Cutting North Korea's Internet access is just a trial run, the real objective is to cut Internet access to everyone in the U.S.A.
Well, they just need to go ahead with the Comcast/Times-Warner merger.
One net to rule them all, one DNS to find them, one link to bring them all and into dark ports bind them in the land of dollars where the politicians lie.
Not going to reply to anonymous cowards. If you got the balls to challenge what I say, then log in and let your opinion be heard.
Be seeing you...
At some point you have to apply Occam's razor and ask who benefits.
At some point... Yeah, the very first thing to ask would be that.
So, you're saying that Sony leaked thousands of extremely embarrassing and in some cases damaging internal documents...
Or anybody shorting the stock... It took a dip for a while and is now rebounding.
Please, people, get the silly politics out of your heads. This is strictly business. Could be some soap opera between Sony, Samsung, and LG, who knows, who cares, aside from the drama and intrigue for somebody's next movie.
“He’s not deformed, he’s just drunk!”
The governments lie, the media lie. That's normal. That's the same in dictatorships and democracies.
The difference is that in a functioning democracy, they tell different lies.
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
You worthless fucking partisan freak asshole. Do you not remember people comparing Bush to a chimpanzee?
Those aren't racist though. All white people are not sometimes described with the same descriptor.
The bush pictures are firmly and clearly comparing his intelligence and facial features. Sure maybe making fun of the way people look is something one can't do anything about, so it should be viewed the same, but its not. One could argue intelligence is somewhat inherited as well, so where do you draw the line? Should we not call out morons in power?
I'm no obama fan and i certainly think bush is a war criminal, however it is a mere coincidence that monkey in one context means one thing and monkey in another means a complete other, and both are being used to describe presidents at a time.
There are far worse insults to throw at obama that aren't racist. Like how he uses robots to murder people because its more humane. Or how he is just the same in power as anyone else and he is really a hopeless president.
