      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.
