Nintendo reprogrammes computer game that called players 'nigga'
We read:
"Nintendo has hurriedly reprogrammed a computer game after discovering one of the characters called players "Nigga".

I remember a couch coming from somewhere in Asia with the original tag from the country calling the color "ni**er brown". They called that a poor translation as well. Those crazy Asians..
