Proverbs 26: 12a “Do you see persons wise in their own eyes?”
They should have let it be.
They believe they were “successful”. After hacking into Sony Studios and
threatening the lives of movie goers, the terrorist-hackers have gotten “The
Interview” pulled before release. It has
been shelved, “permanently”.
Do they not know who they are dealing
with?
In light of Pearl Harbor Day not long passed, do they not realize how dangerous it is to
poke a sleeping bear? I am not saying
that we are headed to war, but retribution will be swift and humorous.
Despite what he has done, Bill Cosby epitomized what will
come next. He read a letter on a
television special from a Representative to the Dental Industry, protesting how
he makes fun of dentists. He read the
letter solemnly, with dignity, before pulling out all the stops, the lesson
being: “Lighten up.”
The sleeping bear of the American Entertainment-Industrial
Complex has been awaked!! In the land
where Jon Stewart is the most popular ‘news anchor’ since Walter Cronkite, where
all the worst excesses of consumerism come out of Hollywood, do they
truly believe there will be no response?
They should have let it lie, endured it, let it get panned
at Cannes, ignored at the Academy Awards.
When Randy Moore released “Escape From Tomorrow”, filmed surreptitiously
at the Disney theme parks, Disney did not react or retaliate. When Al Franken wrote “Rush Limbaugh is a Big
Fat Idiot”, Rush Limbaugh ignored its existence. Each had its time and we moved on. Had either target reacted, we would see the
true definition of something ‘going viral’.
They should have let it be.
