To Judd Apatow, two wrongs don't make a right.

The director took to Twitter to vent his frustrations over the recent Sony hacking scandal, comparing it to this year's Jennifer Lawrence (among other celebs) nude photo leak.

"Releasing private Sony e mails to hurt people is the same as releasing nude photos of Jennifer Lawrence. Why are they ok to print," he wrote.

"Both are theft and can hurt people. Why is it ok to publish stolen private files? Things are either private & it's theft to steal and release them or they are not. Whether it is a photo of my dick or email."

Apatow, who was also famously involved in a nasty email exchange leak with That '70s Show creator Mark Brazill—then continued to joke about said dick pics.

When a fan asked, "Did someone steal your dick pics?!" he playfully replied, "Yes but they refuse to publish them. Bad angle?"

And there's another funny star weighing in on the Sony drama, none other than E!'s own Joel McHale.

The Soup star was involved in the Sony hack, with emails showing that he asked for a discount on a Sony TV after Community was cancelled, but McHale chose to poke fun at himself over the ordeal.

"U bet your sweet ass I want my employee discount!" he joked on Twitter.

Awesome. Just…awesome.
