North Korea is threatening a, “merciless counter-measure” if Washington doesn’t ban a soon to be released Seth Rogan and James Franco movie.  In, “The Interview,” Rogan and Franco play a radio talk show host and producer who get an interview with Kim Jong Un. Then the CIA recruits the pair to assassinate the dictator. North Korea’s official news agency said, “Making and releasing a movie on a plot to hurt our top-level leadership is the most blatant act of terrorism and war and will not be tolerated.” 

I know what I’d consider to be a North Korean “merciless counter-measure.  For example, being forced to eat kimchi. Fermented vegetables? Sorry, I’m on a diet. Being serenaded, “Happy birthday” by Dennis Rodman would be merciless. Getting one of the 28 state approved haircuts imposed on North Koreans would be the most merciless punishment of all.

I’m E. Curtis Johnson. Yes, I’d kick Seth Rogan’s 1st Amendment rights to the curb to keep from getting a North Korean doo!
