I am beginning to sense a pattern. First, the Nigerian government is offended by the PS3 price reduction ad which references the Nigerian Millionaire internet scam and get it removed, and they have apparently found offensive material (to the country as a whole) to the movie District 9 BOTH of which were released by Sony.
I mean this if freakin ridiculous.
::edit::
The first use comment is hilarious.
Nigeria Wants District 9 Banned.

The Nigerian government certainly has a massive chip on it's shoulder.
Expecting an apology from Sony? Better not hold your breath, Nigeria.

Nigeria's complaint sounds like similar complaints of Slovakia and Czech Republic on the film, Hostel.

Feh.
Yes. The movie was being completely redonkulous. There are no gangs/ criminals/ prostitutes/ practicioners of voodoo in Nigeria.
They made that up.
“Supersize Me” was also wrong because there are absolutely no fat people in America, and eveyone here is as healthy as creepy Jack Lalanne.

When “Coneheads” was released in France, an angry crowd of people took to the streets and protested the cinema's playing it. They busted windows with rocks and demanded that the film be burned for portraying the French in that manner.
One protester was actually killed.

Or better yet, the mayor of Newark, New Jersey trying to ban Conan O'Brien from flying into Newark.
