Team America was released in 2004 and it got backlash, but nothing like this because the world was way less sophisticated when it came to hacking and companies weren't storing/archieving every single thing digitally (yet). The backlash was crybaby blog posts by crybaby fukkwads that were crybabies about everything anyway and no one cared.
Plus yeah, puppets.
But if it got released today, trust it would be about as well received as the Interview.

I disagree. While the puppet angle helped a lot in getting away with a lot of non-PC stuff, it's also a movie that pokes fun at literally everything, with a main plot that parodies America's sense of self importance in the world (both by the government as well as celebrities) more extensive than it pokes fun at Kim Jong-Il or North Korea (or the Taliban for that matter).

The Interview of course, is dedicated entirely to a plot about the assassination of a government leader. And that makes a whole lot of difference.

@ the hacks being connected to NK.

@ how quickly whomever made the terrorist threats are going to get thrown in the bushes by NK, if they get caught.

What exactly did terrorist win?

On a couple fronts: They wanted the movie to not be released in theaters, that's going to happen. They also wanted the information they hacked to be disseminated in the public and they got that in droves. So if I'm working for them, I've accomplished all my goals

Edit: They knew what type of culture and people we are man and we folded like paraplegics

That's fair. But there was an awful lot of backlash from Asians/Arabs that really didn't appreciate the Matt and Trey depiction of their culture, personally, I think it would've offended more people in 2014 than the Interview and would've gotten a very similar response. Probably more from the Middle East than from Asia. I do see what you are saying though and it's valid.

But I don't think North Korea is behind the Sony hack anyway, so it's a moot point based on hypothetical 2004 vs 2014 scenario.

It's just a movie though. People make it as if the worlds number one terrorist just got freed.

The first official battle in the war of ideas around the globe.

This is truly a historic moment

Nah I agree with that, it's just a movie so in reality, it's not that serious, but releasing peoples private information, social security numbers, aliases, private conversations, that stuff is serious. And regardless of the seriousness of their goals, they still accomplished their goals
