Ballooning the Interview - Even the Communists Can’t Fight Gravity
summary
Footage shows North Korean defectors watching The Interview and reacting, while the Human Rights Foundation launches balloons launched from the DMZ carrying DVDs, flash drives and tiny radios; a hackathon of 100 engineers produces tiny portable satellite receivers as the winning prototype. Claims: black‑market viewership spikes (the DVD price rises tenfold), the regime forms a task force led by a three‑star general, and clandestine drops continue despite risks to recipients — the balloon drops and low‑cost hardware are already in deployment.
