| binary solo said: When you get a complaint from a government you change your ad; simple. That said govt was overreacting is clearly a matter of opinion. But rather than just change the ad I think Sony should explain that the line was meant to be a quip at people who believe anything they get through spam e-mail or the internet, not a derogatory swipe at Nigeria. We all know that but obviously some people don't. Lastly I think the WW1 comment is a bit ridiculous and isn't nearly as humerous as the original. The line could have just been "that's how wars get started" not WW1. |
The reason I don't think WW1 comment isn't funny is because it doesn't make sense... It's too specific. If they made it to a more generic line like "Wars are started" it would make sense because it doesn't necessarily have to just mean countries. People could relate to it by personal wars from a misunderstanding from a post on facebook or something. It would have been funnier being more generic.
