(Reuters) - North Korea said on Saturday U.S. accusations that it was involved in a cyberattack on Sony Pictures were "groundless slander" and that it wanted a joint investigation into the incident with the United States.

An unnamed spokesman of the North's foreign ministry said there would be serious consequences if Washington refused to agree to the probe and continued to accuse Pyongyang, according to North Korea's U.N. mission and the official KCNA news agency.

The United States stands by its assertion that Pyongyang was to blame, a White House National Security Council spokesman said on Saturday, in response to the remarks.

On Friday, President Barack Obama blamed North Korea for the devastating cyberattack, which had led to the Hollywood studio cancelling the imminent release of "The Interview", a comedy on the fictional assassination of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

In its first substantive response, the isolated North Korea said it could prove it had nothing to do with the hacking attack.

"We propose to conduct a joint investigation with the U.S. in response to groundless slander being perpetrated by the U.S. by mobilizing public opinion," the North Korean spokesman was cited as saying by KCNA.

I really hope this escalates so we can someday have to explain to our grandchildren that this movie was the inadvertant cause of WW3.

It's like playing Civilization V. If you nuke a country as quickly as possible, all countries who are allies with you are going to betray you, backstab you, and you will be fighting against many countries.

I think we should have a worldwide, democratic vote. Every citizen (except North Korea, where they, due to religious and political reasons, do not believe in voting, nor trust it) votes, and we, as a world, united, unanimously agree to just get rid of North Korea and pretend it never happened.

What about countries who do not know what a vote is?

What about countries who do not even want their citizens to do "voting"?
