It may appear we’ve reached a climax in the Sony Pictures hack saga – what with The Interview finally seeing a theatrical release – but the international finger pointing is alive and well. Today, North Korea’s National Defense Commission is accusing the US of causing nation-wide internet outages, while likening the government to a snot-nosed child playing games.

North Korea accused the United States on Saturday of being responsible for Internet outages it experienced in recent days amid a confrontation between them over the hacking of the film studio Sony Pictures. North Korea’s main internet sites experienced intermittent disruptions early in the week for reasons that U.S. tech companies said could range from technological glitches to a hacking attack. “The United States, with its large physical size and oblivious to the shame of playing hide and seek as children with runny noses would, has begun disrupting the Internet operations of the main media outlets of our republic,” the North’s National Defense Commission said in a statement.
