What did you think the upper left was then

I'm glad a couple other people thought it was a little amusing.

I for one think that Nigeria seems to be doing an excellent job making the most of its communications technology.

Just the US? >_>

I didn't find it funny because I was thinking, "I suppose that is Nigeria, but I am going to have to get a map of Nigeria to make a conformation. This joke sucks since I have to look at a map of Nigeria to make sure."

How's your mail?

I don't know where else they try to scam.

It's not a "joke", I just found it amusing that out of all the countries in the world they selected Nigeria for one of the 7 example countries for the graphic.

Haven't gotten any special mail lately.

Anyone with a e-mail address.... (It has happened in the UK I believe)

I saw it as a joke. :-/

Darn.. I'll send you something sometime.
