Just how far has America fallen? We used to fear the Soviets. Now we fear…the Norks.
Via Little Miss Attila, disturbing news out of Hollywood:
So you remember “Red Dawn,” it was that 80’s flick about American kids arming themselves against a Soviet invasion.
…The film has since been remade, with the producers replacing the Russian bad guys with Chinese.
But now – According to the L.A. Times, China has become such a big market for Hollywood, MGM studios have decided to replace the Chinese with North Koreans.
Yep, in a first for Hollywood: filmmakers actually digitally erased Chinese flags and symbols and replaced dialogue… so now North Korea are the invaders.
North. Korea. Little Miss Attila comments:
Yes, they are really changing it so that we are invaded by North Korea. So, as my husband points out, they are going to make it The Mouse That Roared.
The real scandal here is: MGM is worried about insulting the Chinese, but they’re apparently not worried about insulting us.
Hey! MGM! There’s only so far we can suspend our disbelief! Unless you’re going to set the whole thing in some radical alternate reality where a unified Korean Peninsula somehow overcame its psychotic leadership and became a regional superpower…
…well, what, then?
We’re supposed to believe that North Korea – a nation that can’t feed its own people; that would have disappeared entirely by now except for China’s aid; that makes the most dysfunctional third-world nations look downright “Father Knows Best”-like in comparison – North Korea has the wherewithal to invade the United States?
And our Canadian overlords are just going to let it happen?
Screw you, MGM, and even harsher language that I can’t use because my grandmother sometimes reads this blog. Screw. You. For implying that the United States is so incredibly weak. That its people are so cowardly and frail. It’s unbelievable. Unbelievable. And then you’re probably hiring the same hack writers who’ve produced the same unimaginative tripe over and over and over again to script the damn thing.
Hey! China! Can you believe it? MGM was going to tell the world that you’re strong enough to invade the United States, and then they pulled you, For North Korea!
Isn’t that insulting? Bow to your North Korean masters, China! They’re in control now!
