Admittedly, a dumb frat boy comedy about assassinating a nation's leader is in rather poor taste, but I can't believe Sony completely caved like this. What the fuck? A bunch of embarrassing emails from years ago is all it takes to flush millions of dollars away, embolden bullies and look like a giant fucking chicken shit? Pathetic.
True. But after one yahoo was supposedly trying to mix and ignite explosives on a plane, now you can carry only elf-sized toiletries onto a plane. And another yahoo tried to set his shoes on fire and now everyone has to put their shoes through the x-ray machine at the airport. And another yahoo tried to set his grundies on fire (Darwinising himself in the process) and now we have to dance the "YMCA" naked in a carcinogenic photo booth.
Private theaters declining to show a movie that would cause the public not to pay to come and see it
or any other movie at that theater is not really a big deal. To me, anyway.
As an aside, you know what was also banned after those pathetic home-made bombing attempts on planes? Matches and lighters. So, instead of continuing the ban on matches and lighters, and allowing us to keep our shoes on, carry toothpaste and not have the TSA laugh at our giggly bits, they kept the regulations on shoes, toiletries and body scans, and allow us to take a pyromaniac's dream amount of fire starting equipment on board. Because
tobacco lobby freedom.
