After being emailed by a good dozen or so nigerian princes, I gotta say- they've become a famous and sony has every right to joke on them :p

And you've verified that these were Nigerians sending the email?

Whether they were Nigerian, English, French, American, Russian or Chinese is irrelevant.

My point exactly...

*slaps forehead*

No wonder Sony hardly ever puts any real effort into advertising... KZ2 ads get treated like sex offenders ("keep 1000 yards from all school zones!!"), and their price cut offended Nigeria.

Poor Sony.

Nigeria has one of the most corrupt governments in the world, and they're really taking advantage of like the one time in history where they almost have a legitimate claim to squeeze someone for money. At the end of the day, though, this is really no better than racketeering. Officially sanctioned, sure, but basically just a fee to do business in the region unmolested. If they had a real issue they'd try to do something about the underlying issue to begin with.

You do not have the right to never be offended.
