Jason Del Rey has been a business journalist for 15 years and has covered Amazon, Walmart, and the e-commerce industry for the last decade. He was a senior correspondent at Vox.

“It’s time to get a Trapper Keeper and loose leaf because I’m about to take you to school!”

That was Mike Myers last night on Saturday Night Live, resurrecting the Dr. Evil character who explained why he’s so very disappointed that North Korea and Sony “have given evil organizations a bad name” in the Sony hack fiasco.

“You’re one of the most evil countries in the world and your act of war is to kill a movie?” Dr. Evil directed to North Korea. “It’s easy to kill a movie. Just move it to January.”

Sony, which “hasn’t had a hit since the Walkman,” should have known better than to send out James Franco to assassinate Kim Jong-un: “The man single-handedly almost killed the Oscars,” Dr. Evil said.

Here’s the full segment, which begins around the 45-second mark.
