Reportedly under consideration: replacing the propaganda piped into every North Korea home on radios that can’t be switched off with a stream of annoying stoner talk from “The Interview” director Seth Rogen.

Reid was sentenced to three life terms, and to be cursed tens of thousands of times each day by people who must take off their shoes at airports.
