lol who gets affended by ths shit lol " i am affended by this and im doing somthng about it" lol omg how funny he thinks hes actually doing somthng by puting it on youtube lol what an idiot. btw who really gives a shit about what he says we al know tht ps3 is way better thn xbox!
@Neocasko Considering the fact he would never say it right to your face and probably knows absolutely nothing about Nigeria or it's people, other than what is "uncle-daddy" told him, I doubt he is serious. He's just another ignorant moron on youtube who enjoys trolling.
@xilix Yep I agree. He is another moron. I would love to see this prick say that in real life. I am sure people will tear at his politically incorrect ass.
guess what? Nigeria is #1 in the world for telephone and internet fraud. Big ups to Sony for not giving a fuck and airing that shit. fuck Nigeria and their criminals
Assholes like you sogayogy are the reasons why small things with no real offense purpose are taken too seriously, and out of proportions. If that's a reason why you would never buy a sony product then you are one emotional bitch. This commercial should of stayed since there was nothing wrong with it. People have to learn to loosen up on "small" things. Yes i use the word small because this by no reason should be taking to a extreme reason.
grow a penis and stop being such a vagina. It was a very funny commercial and I hope Nigeria burns in fucking hell for there fucked up ways of extorting money from the U.S.
Though it wasn't the best idea to say this, i believe that this is totally being blown out of porportoin. He just made a comment, so now we boycott a gaming system? There's too many insulting things in this world, and we should just realize that its not worth it. People make mistakes. You say they don't have the right to make that commercial, but they have the same right that you do by making this video. Sometimes we got to role with the punches, but not coming back with a knife.
So what, no ones ever allowed to use nigeria in their commercials? Would you have been happier if he said Algeria? And you reason to never purchase sony products which are usually of good wuality is because they said the name of a country in one of their commercials. You, sir, are an idiot
this is not an insult to nigeria as a whole. they are simply refering to people scamming and saying they are nigerian princes who need money to get home. you sir, just skimed this ad for anything non american and blew it completely out of context so it sounds racist and obscene. if you would take the time to actually pay attention and listen to the joke, maybe you would have gotten it and not have people around the world making fun of your lack of attention for detail. blah! get a hobby!!!
get over it. The internet is full of emails offering money to everyone from corrupt nigerian officials. Its common knowledge. Does it take a Sony advert for the nigerian government to wake up off its corrupt sorry arse ?
First of all he isn't insulting the whole Nigerian nation, he is talking about those 412 email scams that have their roots in Nigeria. I think people got to sensitive with a simple joke. You make it sound like a big deal by saying ''Sony bullies Nigeria'' while its a simple reference to the 412 email scams. I wish for a world where little jokes go by and serious stuff are taken seriously, not stuff like this.
Seriously? People are just too sensitive these days. If that really offended you then you have major problems. Before you start, I am an Indian guy living in America, try living a day in my life. You probably couldn't.
ummmm, whats so offensive about the ad? All they were doing was poking fun at all the fake Nigerian internet millionaires. the only people that should be offended by this are the real Nigerian internet millionaires and to my knowledge, there is no such thing.
I'm not saying that all Nigera are criminals, but they seem to celebrate this scam with a movie and a music video called, "I chop your dolla," So suck it. You like making fun of the scam then Sony should make fun of the scam as well. Don't like it, I chop your feelings.
It is a reference to the phony e-mails that are sent from Nigeria by scam artist to steal people's bank account numbers. If you don't like the joke maybe you should fight the crime that it is referring to of Nigerian criminals preying on innocent people through e-mail solicitation.
damn what a crybaby...... its just a commercial. the same happened with the NGS2 commercial slicing the liberty statue in half. a bunch of crybabies were upset. then was the Muslims being piss off at LBP for having a song with words of the Koran. and then was the Russians being piss off at CODMW2 with the situation on the airport. IM GROWING TIRED of this BABIES crying over anything. Get a fucking life u homos.....
i cant believe people even care. there is a lot more things in the world to worry about. than why sony used the word nigeria... OR took the time and money out of their day to crop out a white dude. grow up and find a REAL cause.
Bloody i'm half Nigerian and even i know it was a Joke and to be honest with you its kind of true to ha ha lol I live in the UK and my Mum when she moves back to Nigeria she gonna buy 3 houses over there near her home Home Town where she was born.
I respect your open-mindedness, I wouldn't mind people making a joke about something in my country that is true and should be fixed, right? Though recently I've been receiving emails from Hong Kong too :P
I respect your open-mindness too! It's nice to see that everyone sees it for what it is, it isn't making fun of Nigernains in general, it's just making fun of the scammers. I can't believe the Nigerian government asked Sony to pull it off the air instead of dealing with its scamming problem though to be honest...
Why do people get mad at the truth. Thats like getting mad because someone said Somalia has pirates! Many of the check cashing scams, I need money for the hospital scams, Send me your PS3 now and I'll send a check scams!!!!!! (and they then resell the STOLEN PS for 100% profit) can be traced back to internet cafes in where?? NIGERIA!!!!!! 20/20 even did a special on it. Thats how bad it is over there. So don't blame Sony blame all the crocked Nigerians
That was un called for i'm Half Nigerian and even i know it was a joke and to be honest with you it is kind of true.
I live in the UK and my family is well of when i go over there with my mum to visit my cuzns and my family that live out there the amount of stuff i come back with is just crazy.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Moving forward, the next derogatory statement would be deleted. You morons would never understand my stance, therefore on that note, you can all go to hell.
@sogayogy You don't HAVE a stance. He's not talking about Nigerian people AS A WHOLE - EINSTEIN - he's talking about the fucking con-artists that live in Nigeria. That country LITERALLY houses SCHOOLS that teach people how to run scam operations over the internet. Everyone knows about it, it's no secret. The MS issue was a completely DIFFERENT kind of issue and is not comparable at all, whatsoever! You're nothing but another moronic, hyper-sensitive lunatic on youtube being stupid.
@sogayogy lol.. They made a joke about the nigerian CRIMINALS, and you are defending those bastards.. you probably have helped recently a few "nigerian princesses" xDD
You black people have the same rights as everyone. Your president is also black. what more do you want? I think we should ban everything in general because someone is likely to get offended. some girl i know was complaining and attack another race. In response I said "oh Niggar plz" and she laughed (guess what, she was black). When will this Black, Asian, etc. Policing end. Pick your battles and complain about something better. He was joking about a country same way we also joke about US
This is so stupid. I'm tired of everybody being "offended" at everything. Sony wasn't trying to insult Nigeria or Nigerians. They were making a joke about all those fake emails that I'm sure we all get. You know, the ones where the "U.N. Bank in Nigeria" or the "Central Bank of Nigeria" is offering you $2.7 million or some crap.
ite because of those stupid spam emails that say pay us money to get money but there is a new one that says "you cane believe everything on the internet, thats how world war one got started..."
I love how people use "offensive" as a tool to force their own stupid opinions upon others.
Bad news for you mate: You are not the center of the bloody world. It's not offensive, it's funny. Just because you can't take a joke doesn't mean that everyone should bend over because you cry like a baby.
At first I thought you were just being a troll. Then I realized you were serious. So here's the deal. Know how you get spam emails telling you that you can be a Nigerian prince if you send so and so money? Yeah, he's making reference to that. Saying "You can't believe everything you hear on the internet". Did I really just have to explain that?
they arent insulting nigeria. they are actually insulting spammers claiming to be "rich Nigerian princes with millions of dollars" in every spam email weve ever recieved.
Why don't you tell your fellow countrymen to stop sending me 30 emails a day claiming I've won their lottery and then maybe someone will take this seriously
This ad is not discriminating one bit. It refers to those idiots that send 419 emails that claim they are millionairs and need yr "help" to get i out the country. Why not post something about those guys who are clearly damaging the image of Nigeria, which is world reknown for being utterely corrupt.
hes referencing the FAKE NIGERIAN LOTTERY SCAMS on the internet right now buddy its not offensive to Nigerians just the scam artists trying to trick ppl out of there hard earned money
Clearly a reference to to spam e-mails which claim to be from wealthy nigerians who want to send you money and ask for your bank details, not racist, not an attack on nigeria. Still, the revised line in this commercial is funnier anyway (You can't beleive everything you read on the internet. Thats how World War 1 got started)
ARGH. See, stupidity that is on par with yours is the problem with the world. "Hey, he mentioned a common spam message in his ad that involves Nigeria, asshole." My sweet death kid, you must be really dumb. Do us all a favor and bury your head in the sand and scream all you want about this video till you fill up completely with sand.
Sogayogy as you can see, only simple ignorant people who are a product of two close relatives or even siblings have so far viewed your vid. They can't help the retardation they suffer. Pity them then pray for them.
this commercial isnt insulting at all. In fact there are guys in Nigeria who set up groups and send bulk emails to people in order to scam them out of their money. Its real and in fact there is nothing wrong with this commercial.
Yeah, u're doing something about it alright, but being a fucking idiot/asshole is not a good choice.
This is just a fucking JOKE, it isn't "biased" in any way, it doesn't bash Nigeria as a whole, it is funny, there is another version of this same commercial, and u're clearly OVERREACTING.
Actually I thought this commercial was really funny. I'm not going to boycott the PS3, because I really like it. You're making a big stink out of nothing. Considering the huge number of scams that come from Nigeria, and the fact that the government does essentially nothing to stop it, Nigeria is deserving of criticism. However, the commercial wasn't trying to criticize nigeria, it was making a joke. calm the fuck down.
that comment refers to a common mail/email scam where a supposed Nigerian "prince" asks you for money to win back his crown from a current bloodthirsty warlord and as soon as he wins back his crown you will share in a large portion of his wealth for your assistance, not racist imo
lol, yea people overreact, its just a comercial, its same issue with the movie district 9, the nigerians complain that the movie portrays them in a bad way. and its just a movie,
Wow...people overreact to the stupidest things. This was funny and those damn e-mails piss me off. 3rd world countries are always run by whiny bitches.
for the microsoft thing: The poster was edited because it was aimed towards Polish customers - a country where there aren't many black people... it's a white country like nigeria is a black one.
If Ms would've launched a poster featuring 2 black guys and an "edited to black" white guy, would anybody be offended? I bet not
fuck Nigeria, they scam everyone...Sony shouldnt have to pull anything...i dont care that their feelings were hurt at all. Nigeria also asked for District 9 to stop being shown there because it portrays them as cannibals, thieves, murderers and gansters...but isnt that what they are?
p.s. the movie takes place in Johannesburg, South Africa, not Nigeria...fuck them
wow thanks, if someone portrayed the US as a bunch of conceited rapists, child molesters, and racist people how would you feel about that.
And get your facts correct hun yea the movie was shot in South Africa but are you blind to the fact that they were trying to "portray" Nigeria??? your comment is soo generalized and disgusting. "they scam everyone" hm AS IF there isn't any scams in the US...nonsense, don't get me wrong i'm 100% against 419, but call us all cannibals, theives etc....w/e...
I think sony is actually complimenting Nigeria, he said that he would be a nigerian millionaire, so he would be a millionaire and move to Nigeria. overreacting? yeah chill the fuck out nigeria lol
I find it incredible that some people have never heard of the Nigerian chain mail promising to make you a millionaire if you send them your bank account number. People who think that commercial is biased must live under a rock. LOL!
i think its fine you picky **** he says you cant trust what you hear on the internet cuse Nigeria is where the ass whos who send emails saying "your parrents died in a plane crash send me 3000 dollars to get ur free million dollars they left you" lol and you never get the money cuse Nigeria protects the but holes
but please draw the line between not being able to tolerate any negatively portrayed cultural referances (ie. not being able to take a joke) and clear intolerance.
The "Nigerian Millionaire Scam" is one of the most prolific internet scams ever. If you are not aware of the scam or its significant in web culture then read up. This means Sony's reference is based in fact AND relevant to its target market. Thinking that this is racist towards Nigerians is like thinking that mentioning the Davinci Code Virus would be a slight against Leonardo.
sony u loosing market in Nigeria definitely...america is the most corrupt nation in the world....the worst....what kind of fraud are you even talking off?????????????????Ma-doff jst did his ...soon he would be out of jail based on bail....u guys better open ur eye....if Nigeria was in America...i bet it that u cant see shit like scam becos we re hard working and able....so u 9ja haters hit ur head on the wall....9ja for life
Dude .....U guys are insulting Nigerians....But look at ur nation first before saying Shit....Sony Sucks... Nigerian Haters Sucks....Go hit ur head on the wall UNA FATHER
Well done, Sony! I am a Nigerian and very glad you are helping to expose this National disgrace called 419 Internet scam. Most of the people involved in this scam are now running the govt. One of them is now the Attorney General of the Country. He's called Michael Aondoakaa and one of the originators of internet scam.
lolol i shut nigerian spammers all day as my job, about 60-70 accounts in an 8 hour span every day.... a generalization is something that is appropriate if it's well known. this is well known. get over it.
madoff, stanford, all the ponzis of this world, institutional looters, plunderers, racists and now greedy and avaricious no-gooders getting their just deserts for daring to con the con man. Now you tell me who sucks. Yes I know; creepy arseholes like GetYaMindCorrect!!!
Why don't you fuck off dumbass. It's not Sony's fault that the topic of most spam is the chance of becoming a Nigerian millionare. What if they went out and cracked a joke about pussy winy jackasses like you who always bitch about other peoples problems. Maybe it's not a problem to them at all, but you people make it one by being a bunch of piss-offs. I think it is you who should apologize to Sony for ruining this commercial with your complaining.
Gee, would it have anything to do with the fact that Nigeria is the fraud capital of the world? In fact, many online sellers specifically do not ship to Nigeria for that very reason.
i found this ad to be funny and rather witty... If you want the Nigerian scam joke to go away, i suggest the Nigerian government do something about the scam...
There ex-scammers in the current Nigerian govt. It is public knowledge that the current Attorney General, Mr Michael Aondoakaa was a big time Internet scammer. I know this because I am A Nigeria who happen to know those involved with him and those he advised on how to create Alibi when he was practising Law in Makudi.
why don't you people stop bitching and complaining about EVERYTHING. One of these days we won't be able to say anything at all because it will offend something or someone. GROW UP. who cares. Politically correct bull shit. If you get offended by something MOVE ON, don't let it dictate your mood or your life.
SONY Please romove this advert and apologize to ordinary Nigerians who were driven to fraud by a system that has thrown morals into the sewer. SONY you are provoking a Nigerian government that is keen on REBRANDING the Country's image b/4 the international community. SONY on your kneel and apologize to Nigeria or else SONY products in Nigeria becomes contraband. SONY what are you evidences that Nigerians are internet Scammers? "Nigeria is a good country, good people." REBRAND NIGERIA
Jewish, Italians, Mexicans, Russians, Irish and Scottish have had heavier jokes made at their expense in the media through the years (Just watch the Simpsons or South Park) and they don't end up crying "Racism! I are teh offended!" like this.
Offended because a company made fun of the main crime your country is known for? Then do something to get rid of that crime.
The author of this video has clearly never heard of a Nigerian 419 scam or the internet movement behind trying to stop them - this is a clear reference to Sony's support in exposing Nigeria for the criminally tolerant nation that it is.
lol well after reading the news story on DigitalSpy I have to laugh. It's been so exaggerated! Apparantly the advert says Nigeria is: "a home of fraud where its citizens hardly do genuine business".
It just makes a playful jab of a throwaway comment about the Nigerian scams which are really annoying - it's not like they've falsified claims or made slanderous remarks which are rumours, 90% of us have had one! So build a bridge and get over it.
I am a Nigerian and the ad made my day when I saw it IN NIGERIA. Sony was only stating the obvious men. I dont know why Nigerians are taking it so personal but they also generalise and say all Italian rich families are Mafia. THey also generalise and say the only thing Calabar (a state in Nigeria) girls know how to do is f*&k.
What is really funny about this is that Sony pulled this commercial and yet because of people like the poster of this video I can still see it. Doesn't that perpetuate the very problem you are trying to stop?
Idiots! You are the ones propagating racist tendencies and sowing the seeds of ignorance by disseminating these pointless, ultimately harmless, and jestful, statements. Take a good long look in the mirror because you are the real racists! The ones that find racism in everything! To whom this video belongs, for shame you self righteous bigot!
Who will rid the world of American scammers and thieves? Their people are too dumb to know what's going on there, so they think Nigerias are ''worse''. If only they knew. Heck they just got scammed by a trillion in their so called ''bank bailout''. Morons.
Stupid racists. One American alone, Madoff scammed far more money off of dumb Americans than all the Nigerian scammers put together. The Afgan and Iraq wars are US scams to sreal oil. Americans are the world's BIGGEST scammers.
Nigeria sucks, and so do the Nigerian millionaires who send me emails asking me to help them transfer money into the US in return for a nice percentage.
lol who gets affended by ths shit lol " i am affended by this and im doing somthng about it" lol omg how funny he thinks hes actually doing somthng by puting it on youtube lol what an idiot. btw who really gives a shit about what he says we al know tht ps3 is way better thn xbox!

The MS issue was a completely DIFFERENT kind of issue and is not comparable at all, whatsoever! You're nothing but another moronic, hyper-sensitive lunatic on youtube being stupid.

You black people have the same rights as everyone. Your president is also black. what more do you want? I think we should ban everything in general because someone is likely to get offended. some girl i know was complaining and attack another race. In response I said "oh Niggar plz" and she laughed (guess what, she was black). When will this Black, Asian, etc. Policing end. Pick your battles and complain about something better. He was joking about a country same way we also joke about US

This is so stupid. I'm tired of everybody being "offended" at everything. Sony wasn't trying to insult Nigeria or Nigerians. They were making a joke about all those fake emails that I'm sure we all get. You know, the ones where the "U.N. Bank in Nigeria" or the "Central Bank of Nigeria" is offering you $2.7 million or some crap.
STOP BEING OFFENDED AT EVERYTHING, YOU IDIOTS!!!

Considering the huge number of scams that come from Nigeria, and the fact that the government does essentially nothing to stop it, Nigeria is deserving of criticism. However, the commercial wasn't trying to criticize nigeria, it was making a joke. calm the fuck down.

Umm... They already edited this commercial because of this concern before the airing on television, at least in the United States.
He currently says, "Bernie. you can't believe everything you read on the internet. That's how WWI got started."
So I think the people who were initially offended by the ad got their word out, so it should no longer be a concern, right? :-)
Yes, we were all offended by the "Hot Coffee Mod" on San Andreas, but does it keep us from playing GTAIV? For most, no.

The "Nigerian Millionaire Scam" is one of the most prolific internet scams ever. If you are not aware of the scam or its significant in web culture then read up.

lol well after reading the news story on DigitalSpy I have to laugh. It's been so exaggerated! Apparantly the advert says Nigeria is: "a home of fraud where its citizens hardly do genuine business".
It just makes a playful jab of a throwaway comment about the Nigerian scams which are really annoying - it's not like they've falsified claims or made slanderous remarks which are rumours, 90% of us have had one! So build a bridge and get over it.
