Haha! Definitely funny. I think I recognize a couple of those emails!
Slightly offensive, but I laughed anyway!
LOL! But it’s kinda scary too. Good chance your joke news will end up becoming a true story. Humor imitates life, or does life imitate humor? I forget. But yes, it’s funny.
Awesome. Hopefully their teachers will deter them from fraud. Why didn’t we think this through and deny OLPC in Nigeria until we stopped receiving spam from them? Just kidding.
How the (expletive) can ANYONEE find this OFFENSIVE?
It’s the TRUTH for the love of (insert the name of your god here). What you’re going to offend black people across the planet because someone made a comic about a nation of scammers that happen to be black? Boo hoo. Are people with black hair going to cry foul too? Or people with brown eyes?
Incredibly FUNNY!!!
i DON’T THINK IT’S FUNNY. iF IT WAS SIMPLY ABOUT A NATION OF SCAMMERS, WHY NOT INCLUDE THE ROMANIANS, THE AMERICANS, THE SWEDES OR ANYONE PARTICIPATING IN THE SCAMS.. THAT WOULD BE A REAL JOKE AND IT WOULD BE ALL TRUE. lol
Maybe because no one in SWEDEN, AMERICA, or ROMANIA is participating in the OLPC?!?!!?
I find it funny that you think making reference to a “nation of scampers” is not offensive.
But thats probably because you are a racist ass.
haha damn nigs
Not offensive, its about their country of nationality, not race (assuming that’s what would be offensive)
has any one thought about the fact if you we want to help any one with something like cheap computer. What about our own failing school systems here in the United State. We have schools that could not buy books for all the students were something like this could give students a way to have all the book in one $100 package. Thats if you can get the publishers to give up on the charging schools and arm and a leg for each copy
I think it is offensive that Negroponte and all those other wankers think that what Nigerians really need are fluorescent green laptops.
One Laptop per Child? Or Email servers…
Humorous take on Nigeria’s One Laptop per Child program…
Totaly inapropriate! if that how you spell it.
I think the one in the back wrote me yesterday about wiring me 84 million dollars.
Anyone who thinks this offensive shouldn’t be surfing the web. And do not even think about calling it racism…
This is funny.
If you don’t think this is offensive, you fail to grasp the basic reason why Nigerian email scams actually happen. They’re dirt fucking poor you morons, that’s why when a big asshole comes up to them and gets them to work in a sweatshop full of PC’s sending out scam emails all day, they accept. Do you honestly think the individuals behind the scam emails are the ones pocketing the bulk of the money? Those kids with the OLPC computers actually have a chance – to develop skills that you laugh off as pathetic in your country. It’s a BIG DEAL. I am so honestly offended by this it’s not even funny. Perhaps I should post a picture of little American children fondling weapons, with thought bubbles going on about how they’re gonna “cap some terrorist ass” or “fuck some towel heads up”. It would be equally as offensive, and equally as “funny” and appropriate.
This is why the world hates you, America – ARROGANCE.
oh okay, then do it. it’ll be funny!
Actually there are plenty of such ‘American Kids with weapons’ insulting toons out.. but gee. americans are not allowed to get ‘insulted’ by such things. we are only allowed to be the butt of the jokes it seems.
Yep, since you invaded the planet. If you wanna do something about it, use your brain at the next election. Yes, YOU.
This is making fun of the EMAIL Spam and con artists, not the kids..
Bullshit. It’s exploitation, and those poor African kids are the butt of the joke. Around 50% of those kids won’t live to see their 21st birthday. Get some perspective.

Now thats funny. Exploitation.
Did someone say we get to fuck some towelheads up?
ah ha! real funny sort of like when africans think that all white men are pedofiles and potential mass murderers.
damn cracks.
Thats because we are all pedophiles and mass murderers.
How old are you? Under 12 I hope?
Love Cracker
but a report recently published showed over 90% of all scamms originate from the US
If any of you think the Nigerian scammer is really a Nigerian, you’re very fucking naive–like the kind of person who would fall for exactly that scam.
Where are all the white people? What about all the black people? I think Americans smell like peanut butter. It’s 1997. Welcome to America. I am buttpenisman. I like butpenisman. poopoo peepee
peeper
p.
Sounds like you’ve pissed off chip-on-the-shoulder american blacks and cowardly western Europeans both.
Good Show!
WOW! Unbelievable backlash here…
I thought it might be offensive because it’s poking fun at a kind act of charity. Never saw the racist angle – and honestly I still don’t.
I used a pic of Nigerians, because its the Nigerians that are in the news now and are famous for those spam email scams.

“I thought it might be offensive because it’s poking fun at a kind act of charity. ”
That’s pretty much it. It’s about as offensive as it is funny :p
tony is an idiot
lol
for those ‘Sharpton’ wannabe posting stupid ass comments about racism need to look in the mirror and take the stick out of your ass.
Go and protest this when Carlos Mencia steals this idea and puts in on his stupid show, lol.
i am sorry, i cant laugh about it at all… i think its kinda sniffy to laugh about it, though i am agree with anybody saying we shouldnt be too “tensed” when it comes to political correctness.
my point is that i see children who who possess nothing at all and now the got that shiny thing called computer. can you imagine how the feel? and now there are relatively wealthy people from the modern western civilization sitting in front of there 2500$ macs laughing down from there throwns.
usually i am not the one raising the index finger when somebody makes fun out of, lets say the nazis, or whatever, but when it comes to children, i dont know, its different somehow. thats my 2 cents, greetings from germany.
Inappropriate, offensive und racist.
Providing public space for comments like Nr.12 is nothing but brainless and ignorant.
Lame and sad.
Shame on you.
ONLY AN IDIOT IS QUALIFIED TO ‘BAKE’ SUCH JUDGEMENT bill. SMALL MINDS AREN’T PUT TO MUCH USE, THAT’S WHY YOU AIN’T A HOKIE. LOL
FOR A BUNCH OF RACISTS LIVING IN A ‘BANKRUPT’ COUNTRY, YOU ARE THE PERFECT TARGETS FOR THESE SCAMS; SOMETHING ALL THE SCAMMERS RECOGNIZE. WHO IS THE IDIOT NOW. READ ‘THE IDIOT’ – DOSTOEVSKY. THEN lol
Honestly, it is funny. But it also makes you consider what are the ramifications of enabling the most poverty stricken classes to use the internet. I agree its likely not to be the most positive exercise. Its probably going to lead to increased cc theft and fraud more than anything else really tangible to us. People don’t gain morals overnight.

THE OBJECTIVE OF THE OLPC IS THE HELP THE WORLD LITERACY BY PROVIDING A MEANS FOR EDUCATION AND COMMUNICATION. SOME MANY OF US IN THE WEST TAKE THAT FOR GRANTED, AND SADLY THIS SHOWS IN THE KIND OF RESPONSES IN THESE COMMENTS. AS FOR THE RACISTS, SINCE THEY WERE THE ONES WHO IDENTIFY THEMSELVES, IT GOES TO THE SAYING ‘HE KNOWS BEST’ TOUCHE.

Aint your momma a nig.
ya a bit offensive… plus its not like the Nigerian spam mails come from Nigeria anyway!
well at least they can make money this way, I have no real problem with it. Only idiots respond to those messages and believe them, its evolution – survival of the competent, and misery for the idiots
Ive been a power seller on ebay now for about 2 years and I cant tell you how many times someone will win my auction, then ask me if I can ship to an address in Nigeria. If I say I can then they will forge a fake email from paypal that says they paid me although they did not. Its all a scam.
So if they want me to ship to Nigeria, how could you tell me that these scammers arent from there?
BTW, this picture cracked me up.
