Pusillanimity (noun) the quality or state of being pusillanimous : cowardly : weak and afraid : lacking courage and resolution : a contemptible timidity revulsive to males, particularly warriors. It seems Sony Pictures, and Hollywood in general, have exposed their yellow underbellies again, following in the time-honored tradition of South Park and Comedy Central. Once again we Americans are subjected to a spiraling competition of repugnant cowardice, the likes of the small lapdog that yaps at a neighbor from behind its masters leg – only to run into the house and in fear lose control of its bladder once the neighbor so much as looks in the puppy’s direction. Tsk-tsk. I detest the narcissism of Comedy Central’s South Park that oh-so-wittily skewered one religion after another. And yet in April of 2010 both the network and the show’s writers/producers coward in fear when Al Qaeda so much as cleared their throat with an, “Oh yeah?” That slightest raised eyebrow put a screeching end to religious satire and freedom of expression by the South Park show and the entirety of the Comedy Central channel. Only…it didn’t really. Catholics, Jews, Buddhists and every other religion under the sun continues to be skewed each week by these pathetic clowns. Why? Well clearly only because these religious communities implicitly grant their permission for satire. If the creators of South Park cannot stand up to an Islamic imam clearing his throat, they would wither away into purgatory at so much as the Pope waddling his finger at them! Don’t think so? Then I offer for your amusement Sony Pictures and the Hollywood elite who took it upon them selves to create a satire of a tiny, insignificant, powerless backwater region known in common news media vernacular as “North Korea” – a mountainous region so bereft of anything valuable that its people have been starving for a full 20 years! It’s not enough to say that North Korea has no electricity. It hasn’t even windows for its hospitals! Furniture delivery service in its most technologically advanced city of Pyongyang is achieved on foot. How is that possible, you ask? Easy. They don’t have furniture! North Korea is noticeably cleaner, but slightly poorer than Somalia, for Christ’s sake. At least Somalia has piracy as a national industry. North Korea’s national industry is cannibalism. But no…sensing an easy victim, and following in the tradition of such riveting noir as the films Team America and Red Dawn II, Sony Pictures sought again to make fun of a starving people kept in a perpetual state of terror by their local fat boy. This ought to be good for a laugh. And Hollywood stuck with their time-proven shtick – “kick people while they’re down.” Only it didn’t work! The only well-fed fat boy in all of North Korea issued the most vague of warnings, “I’ll fart inside your purple mailbox.” That was it. The deal was off. Terrified to the core of their very being, our brave, brave cross-dressers from Hollywood waddled in retreat as fast as they could manage with heeled pumps and handbags flapping like surrendered battle banners. They ducked into the CIA halls at Langley and lost control of their bladders on the polished marble floors. Pusillanimity. Please world. America really doesn’t need yet another imploding industry. Think of all the narcissistic actors who will return to work at coffee shops and fast food joints across the country! Oh the horror. (No really. We prefer they stay in Hollywood and NYC.) Will at least one nation with a pair of cojones please, please, please grant Hollywood and Sony Pictures permission to make fun of your government? Think of the children!
