It’s all fun and games until someone gets nuked.

That’s the basic lesson of The Interview, the upcoming film from BFFs Seth Rogen and James Franco that lampoons Kim Jong-un, the Supreme Leader of North Korea. Unsurprisingly, the North Korean government does not find a movie centered on the assassination on Kim to be especially funny.

As only North Korea can, they issued the following rebuttal:

“The enemies have gone beyond the tolerance limit in their despicable moves to dare hurt the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK.

While the likelihood of anything actually happening is slim-to-none, do we really want to take that chance? Let’s just say, for sake of argument, that something does happen; do we really want the history books to say that we allowed a guy who goes online and hits on 17-year-old girls to take down our entire country? It seems like Rogen and Franco may actually want to live out their little doomsday fantasy from This Is The End in real life.

Somewhere, a very concerned Dennis Rodman is devising strategies to protect his “friend for life.”
