Sony is and should be getting a huge black eye over this decision to shelve a satirical and goofball flick. I'll bet their Twitter account is all a'twitter over this from the younger set.

Ok, off my soapbox.
Bob, grab a chair, sit down and brace yourself, cuz you and I can actually agree on this. As I see it right now, thanks to Sony's cave-in, N Korea just chalked up a victory. And they did it using old fashioned blackmail. I'm sure you noticed that the next thing NK did after Sony caved was to try to push the ball further down the field by demanding even more conditions from Sony.

And by the way, Sony wasn't done caving over just one film. They decided to shelve another project that dealt with NK - related subject matter:
