SAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – When one criticizes or makes fun of North Korea or its leader Kim Jong-un, there are severe consequences.

We all know about the infamous hacking of Sony Pictures’ email account which many believe to be the work of North Korea in retaliation for the film, ‘The Interview’ whose plot revolves around the assassination of Kim.

Well, everyone who saw last night’s Golden Globes knows that North Korea was once again the object of ridicule. Thanks to the award show’s segments that featured Korean American comedian Margaret Cho posing as a North Korean general obsessed with American entertainment, complete with the all too familiar Korean military attire, powdered face and distinctive accent.

The consequence? Cho’s Facebook and email accounts were hacked and North Korea once again is the suspect.

In the next few days, we expect compromising and x-rated photos of Cho and damaging email conversations she has had with close friends to surface on the Internet.

Let’s just hope North Korea decides to skip the photos.

HOLLYWOOD, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – Upon the request of President Kim Jong-un, the United States will extradite Korean-American Margaret Cho to Pyongyang to face slander charges.

The State Department action comes the morning after controversial televised segments of the Golden Globes in Los Angeles.

As part of a running gag on the show, co-hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler introduced the “newest HFPA member” — North Korean general Cho Young Ja, played by Margaret Cho.

She was solemn and quiet at first, holding up her freelance magazine, Movies Wow, and wanting only to take a picture with Meryl Streep. Cho kept reappearing during the three-hour telecast as the North Korean general who is obsessed with American entertainment.

In a statement, the State Department said that the extradition is part of Washington’s ongoing efforts to re-establish diplomatic relations with North Korea. “It’s a good faith effort to show the Pyongyang government that America is sincere in wanting conciliation with the communist country,” the statement said.

The U.S. does not have an extradition agreement with North Korea.

AFTER JUST 15 DAYS, PHILIPPINES ‘ROYAL’ COUPLE WILL RENEW WEDDING VOWS BEFORE POPE FRANCIS

Rivera and Dantes, with Best Man President Aquino.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – It is not uncommon for married couples to renew their wedding vows, but they do so usually on the silver or golden anniversary of wedded bliss.

The ‘royal’ wedding of Filipino film stars Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes happened last December 30, but already, they want to renew their wedding vows on January 15 when Pope Francis arrives in Manila for the papal visit. That would be just a little over 15 days!

The ostentatious wedding — which reportedly cost 100 Million Pesos — was officiated by eight bishops and seven priests. Apparently, that wasn’t enough.

The couple wanted to take advantage of the papal visit to renew their wedding vows before Pope Francis. The private ceremony will be held in the presidential palace (Malacañang). President NoyNoy Aquino will reprise his role as Best Man.

It will be a low-key wedding this time around. No Two Million Peso wedding gown or 12-ft. wedding cake. No other guests will be invited other than the president and his sister, Kris Aquino.
