Seth Rogen's North Korea tweet is too real
Celebrities and politics, am I right? Seth Rogen doesn't seem the likeliest candidate for outspoken activism, but his unique career experiences do address one subject: North Korea.
"I don't have much authority to speak on political matters," Rogen tweeted on Tuesday. "But one thing I can DEFINITIVELY say: Don't fuck with North Korea."
His comments came after Donald Trump tweeted that North Korea was "looking for trouble" and one of the country's major newspapers responded:
Our revolutionary strong army is keenly watching every move by enemy elements with our nuclear sight focused on the U.S. invasionary bases not only in South Korea and the Pacific operation theater but also in the U.S. mainland.

In 2014, Rogen's film The Interview, which made fun of the hermit nation and its leader, was pulled from theaters due to explicit threats from suspected North Korean hackers (the film eventually released online and in select theaters). The hackers had brought Sony to its knees and then took aim at large theater chains that had planned to show the movie.
Will the White House learn from the mistakes of Seth Rogen and James Franco? Probably not -- but the rest of us could.
