Should there be limits in mocking Kim Jong-un ?

Limits? The sky's the limit.

It seems that almost any enemy of the US or the World is fair game to poke fun at. I don't think it is right. Why cause such a commotion? They could have made up a dictator in a made up country that was similar to NK.

It is OK to make fun of Hitler, Bin Laden and other dead idiots but by making fun of Kim Jong they offended an entire country.

Harold and Kumar escape from Guantanamo bay did a decent job of making fun of US political leadership.

Then there were cartoons like lil' Bush....and those were US productions while he was a sitting president.

Not to mention a host of actual dramas about killing a real politcal leader....not comedies.

I guess I should whip out the world's smallest violin now.

Being a leader puts you in a position to receive adoration as well as scorn, and everything in between. If you can't take the good and the bad, then being a leader isn't for you. There should be no limits to the mocking. To limit any kind of speech is not good, even when you think it's offensive.
