Beyond "The Interview": The top 10 cave-in artists of the year

We’re all marvelling at the colossal humourlessness of North Korea and its fanboys on the internet, who can’t even take a Seth Rogen-delivered joke about their Glorious Leader. But they’re not the only ones who demand the censure of allegedly off-colour humour. In November, Time magazine caved in to po-faced feminist agitators who complained about its inclusion of the f-word—feminism —in its annual light-hearted poll on what words have become so annoying that they should be banned. After some Twitter-fems lost their shit, Time issued a mea culpa and pulled the f-word from the poll. Eleanor Smeal of the Feminist Majority Foundation said she was relieved Time had “come to its senses,” because the word feminist “cannot and must not be trivialized.” Just as Kim Jong-un cannot and must not be trivialized by Hollywood.
