Thought I was talking about the PS3 Slim ad, huh?

Nope, this time it's about a movie.

Is District 9 racist against Nigerians? The Nigerian government clearly believe so - They've stepped in to ask cinemas to stop screening the movie and are demanding an apology from Sony Pictures for the movie's "unwarranted attack" on the country.

Allegations of racism against Neill Blomkamp's movie have been flying since its release, but this new move from the Nigerian government raises the stakes significantly. Information Minister Dora Akunyili explained her problems with the movie:

We feel very bad about this because the film clearly denigrated Nigeria's image by portraying us as if we are cannibals, we are criminals... The name [of] our former president was clearly spelt out as the head of the criminal gang and our ladies shown like prostitutes sleeping with extra-terrestrial beings... I have also formally written to Sony Pictures Entertainment, the company that produced this film, demanding an unconditional apology for this unwarranted attack on Nigeria's image.

The government has also asked the Nigerian film censors' board to ban the movie within the country. Sony have so far declined to comment.

Can't get the below to edit out.

Nigerians have been receving bad publicity in this country. They are getting a bad reputation because some people in America claim that most Nigerians in this country are mostly scammers, which is not true. Regarding this situation with Sony, I don't think they hate Sony, I think they are just really frustrated right now with all the bad publicity. I never seen District 9 but I think I will watch the film and try to understand where they are coming from.

Is this a mock post? please tell me you're trying to do a RolStoppable .. PLEASE!

Pardon? It's clear nigeria hates Sony, this might be Sony's second apology to them in less than a month.

That means something is wrong.

Wow I saw the movie a couple weeks ago and thought it was harsh towards them but I actually was unaware about the former president part, that's terrible.

Well, the camps in District 9 were based off reality (the director grew up in South Africa and most of the slums in the movie were the real, unchanged slums in South Africa).

My response, if you want people to stop making you look bad, stop making yourselves look bad.

Stereotypes don't come from nowhere, they are based on truth.

Man, countries can be such cry-babies.

I couldnt have said it better myself

So we've moved on from everyone on the internet to hating Sony, to an entire country .....

Why put red writing in this post. Its really hurting my eyes
