LOS ANGELES -- Now it's just getting silly.
Paramount Pictures has apparently forced the cancellation of planned screenings of Team America: World Police across the U.S. in the coming days, presumably over fears of the bogeymen from North Korea.
The Dallas-Fort Worth Alamo Drafthouse, Capitol Theatre in Cleveland and the Plaza Atlanta all tweeted the cancellations Thursday:

Paramount Pictures did not immediately respond to Mashable's request for comment on why anyone would cancel a screening of a film that came out 10 years ago, made $50 million at the worldwide box office and is widely available for viewing at home.
