Sony Chief Pressures Seth Rogen

Kazuo Hirai, the Chief Executive of Sony, ordered a part of The Interview where Kim Jong Un’s head blows up to be toned down, even though he rarely if ever oversees the content of films. This came after the film was denounced by Un as ‘terrorism’, meaning Hirai just made America look like a pnsy bitch. Seth Rogen co-directed the film, and had to haggle particulars of what percentage of Un’s hair could be on fire and how many burn marks he could have on his face because that’s important. Finally Rogen took a stand after Sony kept butting in:

“The head explosion can’t be more obscured than it is because we honestly feel that if it’s any more obscured, you won’t be able to tell it’s exploding and the joke won’t work.”

People in high paying positions always find a way to justify their worth, whether its arbitrarily nit picking hair fires or belittling interns on a whim. Un’s head still blows up, and someone still hacked your computers because they were pissed. Don’t you wish now you’d taken a stand instead of being intimidated by that Hyundai with tinted windows parked outside your house all week? Grow a pair Kazuo, our enemies don’t respect us when we retreat.
