It kind of reminds me of something else that was going around a few years ago when the Olympics were in Atlanta. Someone from New Mexico was trying to buy tickets, and the person on the phone told them that they could only sell tickets to American citizens. The caller, realizing they were getting nowhere, asked for the manager, and the manager said the same thing. He said something to the effect "we realize that you are a territory of the US, but not a state!". The ignorance of some of our citizens is unbelievable...
