North Koreans Could Be In Serious Danger If They Watch 'The Interview'

As we already know, all western media is banned in North Korea. 

They have limited Internet access, they can't watch the same films as the rest of the world and generally have a bit of a sh*t time when it comes to anything fun and enjoyable.

However, it appears that some vigilantes are trying to smuggle copies of controversial comedy The Interview into the country in an attempt to get one over on Kim Jong-Un. The punishment for anyone caught watching it? A lengthy spell in a detention camp.

Scott Snyder, a Korea expert at the Council on Foreign Relations, told Mashable that there are people with copies of the film on USB sticks that are supposedly being smuggled into the country for a small contingent of North Koreans that wish to dice with death and watch the film.

The film tells the story of James Franco and Seth Rogen's characters, Dave Skylark and Aaron Rappaport, who have been hired by the CIA to infiltrate North Korea and assasinate their leader, Kim Jong-Un. You can see why it's pretty dangerous now, can't you?

Although it's easy for us to download The Interview, experts say it'd take someone closer to North Korea many days to download it alone, let alone get it into the country. The border has been tightly controlled since the West African outbreak of Ebola gained international attention, but smugglers will always find a way for the right price.

If you were Korean, would you watch The Interview? Have your say in the comments!
