Here's an interesting little story. It's interesting because it appears that the Nigerian government has banned the movie District 9 from showing at cinemas in that country. And that's probably because the Nigerians don't come off very good in the movie.
But here's what I really find interesting. This AP story to which I've linked finds it compelling that the Nigerians have created a Facebook page called "Nigerians Offended by District 9" that has, gasp, 57 members.
Fifty-seven members. Is that all?
Hell, my Facebook group "Make John Royal the Manager of the Houston Astros" has 36 members, and I haven't even really advertised it. So when is the Associated Press sending someone around to interview me? I would hope that I at least get interviewed after Cecil Cooper is fired because I really want that job, and the publicity would really help me out.
But this is just an indication to me that this AP reporter doesn't spend much time on Facebook, because 57 members isn't really that much for one of Facebook's groups.
