You've got to imagine that, at some point, somebody stopped the public relations officer in North Korea and explained the Streisand Effect to them.

Or maybe not. Barbara Streisand may not be familiar to the crazy folks in the Hermit Kingdom.

Anyway, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea issued a strongly-worded statement against Seth Rogen and James Franco's upcoming film, The Interview.

"The cheekiness to show this conspiracy movie, which is comprised of utter distortions of the truth and absurd imaginations, is an evil act of provocation against our highly dignified republic and an insult against our righteous people."

Well, that's them told.

The statement went on, saying "how pitiful the U.S. is, desperately scrambling to tear down the authority of our republic that grows mightier by the day, with a shabby movie, now that no pressure or threat has worked."

SHOTS FIRED. SHOTS FIRED, YOU GUYS.

The Interview will be in Irish cinemas in from January 2015.
