Pyongyang cannot prevent airdrop of ‘The Interview’ bomb


#balloonbomb #pyongyang #TheInterview #KimJongUn The Sony movie ‘The Interview’, a spoof on North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un and his assignation had created tension with the United States and, Sony Pictures, after much hesitation finally released it in America. However, the international tensions over the movie may not end soon.
A South Korean activist Park Sang-hak has decided to make it available to the people of North Korea. He plans to pass on the Seth Rogen/James Franco comedy directly to the isolated country. His plan is to airdrop 100,000 DVDs and thumb drives containing the movie over North Korea as early as January.
These would be carried out clandestinely, the pace would pick up in March, when he expects wind direction to be more favorable.
He has revealed that the absolute leadership of North Korea would crumble if the idolization of leader Kim breaks down. Park wants to make the people of North Korea to become more aware of the world they live in. In order to accomplish the cinematic airdrop and pass on the message, he is expected to rope in the U.S. nonprofit the Human Rights Foundation which is an "organization that promotes and protects human rights globally, with a focus on closed societies."
Of course, given the ground realities in North Korea, it is not known how effective this balloon-airdrop project would be. Many people in the country may not have access to a computer, however access to televisions and DVD players is believed to be more widespread. Hence, that could be used.
