North Korea calls Barack Obama 'a monkey' in latest attack as 'The Interview' row festers
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/north-korea-calls-barack-obama-a-monkey-over-the-interview-and-hacking-allegations-9946016.html
North Korea compared President Barack Obama to a monkey, and blamed him today for internet blackouts as well as the US release of The Interview film this week, that depicts an assassination of dictator Kim Jong Un. North Korea has described the movie as illegal, dishonest and reactionary but it is not the first time to have used the racial slur against the president, as in May the country’s news agency published a statement saying Obama has “the shape of a monkey”.
According to the North Korean commission’s spokesman, “the US, a big country, started disturbing the Internet operation of major media of the DPRK, not knowing shame like children playing a tag.” DPRK refers to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, the country’s official name. The commission said the movie was the result of a hostile US policy toward North Korea and threatened the US with unspecified consequences.The two countries are technically in a state of war because the 1950-53 Korean War ended with an armistice, not a peace treaty.

"Shouting Fire" Discussion Questions
1) Some people believe that the first amendment goes to far because it protects too much. People are allowed to say what they want with no filter. If they are questioned about what they are saying they cry "freedom of speech" and they're all of a sudden protected from prosecution.
2) My reaction to the school principle Debbie was just pure shock. The media took her words and twisted them so that she sounded like the bad guy when in reality that is not at all what she said. It's just so wrong that the media, who's suppose to provide us with factual information, can twist stories to make them in a way untrue.
3)http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2014/04/23/on-freedom-of-speech-social-tolerance-and-opposition-to-gay-marriage/
This article from the Washington post is about freedom of speech and gay marriage. Similarly to this, in the documentary when the young boy who apposed gay rights was protected from prosecution by the first amendment, the freedom of speech.
