“The Interview” isn’t funny.

This isn’t me trying to be a killjoy nor is it me trying to be the Politically Correct Police, but this movie just isn’t funny. It’s offensive.

Directed by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, the film was an attempt at political satire, meant to poke fun at one of the world’s most unstable dictators, Kim Jong Un. In the name of democracy and sticking it to repressive Communist regimes, Sony lost $30 million and hackers threatened to violently attack any theater that played the film.

Let’s look beyond that, however. The movie itself had only basic, mediocre humor that was at the expense of oppressed North Koreans.

“Ms. Polly Politically Correct, who cares? It was a funny movie and the North Koreans probably don’t even care about ‘The Interview.’ Movies making fun of American culture are made all the time; you don’t see anyone freaking out about that.”

You’re right. The North Koreans don’t care about “The Interview.” They don’t know about it.

Kim Jon Un may be incredibly unstable and trigger-happy dictator, but he is smarter than we give him credit for. He had an entire population brainwashed into believing he knows everything they say and everything they think, therefore no one says or thinks anything bad about the government. Plus if anyone is even caught watching “The Interview” on their computer, they can just join the others being executed in massive stadiums, as public mass executions of those who are caught with any remnants of western culture are the norm.

So in five, 10, maybe 20 years from now when the North Koreans are free from dictatorship, and they use the Internet for the first time without fear and see that their plight and suffering was the butt of millions of jokes, think about how they would feel?

“The Interview” just isn’t very funny now, isn’t it?
