South Korean Activist To Drop "The Interview" In North Korea Using Balloons

Siddharth Srinivas writes Park Sang Hak, a North Korean democracy activist, said he will start dropping 100,000 DVDs and USBs with Sony's The Interview by balloon in North Korea as early as late January. He's partnering with the U.S.-based non-profit Human Rights Foundation, which is financing the making of the DVDs and USB memory sticks of the movie with Korean subtitles.

    Are there 100,000 DVD players or PCs in private hands in North Korea? This doesn't seem like it is likely to have much effect.

      The are two points of view on that. Most certainly the people of North Korea are suffering under the egotistical and lust driven machinations of psychopaths but it is the people of North Korea who are ultimately responsible for their being victims. The people of North Korea are teaching the rest of us a very valuable lesson, cowardice and obedience bring horrible punishments to by far the majority far worse than the suffering of a minority, two minorities, the minority who died bringing an end to the minority who killed them and that minority who dies being a necessary part of the majority who resist.

      So always choose to resist or become North Koreans living in fear and misery trapped by their own cowardice. Never ever allow your 'Political Leaders' to demand respect from the electorate, always demand that you 'Political Representatives' respect the electorate. Next time someone talks about political leaders rather than political representatives, demand they bend over and give them a swift kick up the arse for being idiots. In a democracy you never ever elect people to lead you, you elect them to represent you, otherwise you are destined to become another North Korean.

    And how many innocent NK citizens will be consigned to labor camps, for possessing imperialist propaganda blaspheming the "Great Leader?"
