Nigerian Officials Try To Block 'District 9'
Nigerian information minister Dora Akunyili has asked movie houses to stop screening the science fiction film District 9 because of its unflattering portrayal of Nigerians. What do you think?
Gerald Collins,
Carpet Installer
"If the Nigerians would just lose a little weight, they'd have nothing to worry about."
Tiffany Fripp,
Urologist
"I saw District 9, and it didn't change what I think about Nigerians. Which is nothing. I only think about America."
Aaron Turrington,
Fireman
"Because the Nigerian government's vast oil wealth is always generously and transparently passed down to its grateful citizens, you can see why the information minister would chafe at a film that portrays Nigerians as corrupt thugs."
