BBC NEWS | Africa | Jacksons star in Nigeria resort row

BBC NEWS | Africa | Jacksons star in Nigeria resort row As I casually comb the BBC new site (as I often do), I ran across this article. When I read it, I actually made sure that the date was no April 1st. Imagine a Theme park, a slavery memorial, a 5 star hotel, golf course, and Jacksons musuem in the same breath. Can you imagine what they would name the hotel? The golf courses? The rollercoasters?!? I am really curious as to the intended audiences. Something like this would (hopefully) come up as tackless in the United States. Auchwitz is crumbling , and the dabate rages on about what should be done with it - will this business model prove its saviour? Last question: is this really different from casinos on Native American land? I don't see it as being any less exploitative.
