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.
DVD players are quite common in the North, the government produced a wide range of propaganda for public consumption. Computers, less so, but remember, they are connected to what is essentially a locked down "intranet".

0/5 Stars: Totally not worth getting executed for.
Troll is not a replacement for I disagree.
And you can bet they watch the propaganda, because in North Korea, TV watches YOU!.
Worse, in North Korea your neighbor watches you. People can get executed, or worse, for possessing one of these DVDs or even finding one laying on the ground and picking it up when the wrong person is passing by at the same time. I wonder if this "activist" cares about that at all.
I feel sorry for north Koreans, haven't they suffered enough? Being given that dogshit movie could count as a war crime.
that this movie is a bomb?
