North Korea Complains To UN About Seth Rogen

North Korea without a sense of any irony complained to the United Nations about Seth Rogen's new movie which hasn't been released yet.

North Korea has one of, if not the worst human rights record on the planet and they are whining about a movie.  This a government which executes whole families, puts extended families in prison and has a huge network of prisons for a population of only 23 million.

 North Korea has lodged a complaint with the United Nations about a controversial forthcoming film starring Seth Rogen and James Franco, accusing the United States of sponsoring terrorism and committing an act of war by allowing production of a movie about a plot to kill its leader, Kim Jong Un.The Interview – due for release on 14 October – tells the story of  two journalists who land an interview with Kim Jong Un, and are then ordered by the CIA to assassinate the North Korean leader.
According to Reuters, the letter to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon from North Korea's UN Ambassador Ja Song Nam, dated 27 June but made public this week, does not mention the name of the movie but talks about a plot that “involves insulting and assassinating the supreme leadership.”
“To allow the production and distribution of such a film on the assassination of an incumbent head of a sovereign state should be regarded as the most undisguised sponsoring of terrorism as well as an act of war,” Ja said.
