I'm offended by the new ad. I should write Sony a strongly worded letter.

"Dear Sony, your ad about the first great war is very offensive. My great grandfather and 15 million other military personnel didn't die just so you can belittle what they were fighting for. I demand you stop airing these commercials immediately."

Ok agreed.

Now lets go back to the original argument.

In that ad what the guy orginally says, don't you think that it gives off the impression that all those who are internet scamsters are Nigerians?

I am talking about only the advertisement.

And I still think Nigeria has onlly as much law and order problem as any other poor country. poverty = lawlessness.

No, they didn't give off that impression at all.

why does SONY constantly get itself in hot water over racist ads.... they need to fire their ad team....

Actually your joke post makes some sense. Joking about a tragedy like WW I is not really the best move.

Still its way better then stereotyping a certain ethnicity.

Good thing there was no sterotype involved in the first ad.... unless sony said "You can't believe everything you read on the internet because all of those scames come from nigeria and the government just allows that to happen" which we all know it wasnt

After she read a Wikipedia article that said the Prince didn't like Ocarina of Time.

Yes. Just like the rest of Africa, Nigeria has tons of natural resources. But these were squandered by the greed of the dictators and the Western corporations that propped these dictatorships up for the purpose of exploiting the oil-wealth.

What has resulted is a poverty stricken population and what often happens in this case is that larger number of people follow the path of crime for survival's stake.

Anyway apologies for digressing.

"You can't believe everything you read on the internet... Or else Obama would never have became President"

"You can't believe everything on the internet... Or else Ron Paul would have won by a landslide"

Is this sterotyping every US citizen?

No.
