Sony could have avoided this situation from the beginning by changing NK to a fictional country, something that's been happening in film for decades. They have no one to blame but themselves.

This is a much funnier and more provocative concept. Kim Jong Un is an absolute monster. People are frustrated by his very existence and the fact that he apparently will just get to keep on with his brutal reign for the entirety of his life.

A fictional country would not carry the weight. Part of the hilarity and charm of it is directly making a mockery of this specific piece of shit.
