embed code for those who want.

a co-worker of mine today expressed confusion over the premise of this video's overall point.

it was a :larry: moment, to say the least.

So M.I.A. hates red heads more than the makers of Southpark huh?

Here's my argument to keep the women. Please sign the petition.

This isn't terrible, but it is the worst M.I.A. song I have heard, and don't really see myself trying to hear it again. And I generally like her, at least most of her first album, and all of her second album.

I guess she got tired of people calling her out for biting their style so tried to switch it up.

Weird video.

this song and video are both crap in my opinion. is making a "controversial" video a new trend I'm picking up on?

some social commentary on racism/anti-semitism/religious fear bullshit. that immediately came to mind and i couldn't imagine it being construed any other way from a serious standpoint.

i really don't care for this chick's music either way so the music was just background noise.

So the point MIA and director Roman Gravas were trying to make is violent and oppressive racial/religious persecution is bad? That's pretty deep.

ha yeah you know what i mean. like, those gingers could have been anyone. maaaaaaan.

had they been asian, middle eastern, black, jewish, etc, basically anything other than a specific brand of white...would have been too obvious of course.

It was really eye opening for me.

When I saw that it could happen to nice, ordinary, harmless gingers, I realized that rounding up people and inexplicably driving them to the desert to shoot/beat/chase/explode them in an oddly disorganized fashion was something we need to take a long, hard look at.

I mean, normally it's just happening to scary brown people, so it doesn't seem so bad.

im a big MIA fan but i cant really get with the single or video.

as far as the ginger-cide, it's a creative thought, but i dont really like where they went with it.

song and video are garbage.

what's the point of either of them?

This was a waste of my time, but worse off for the people involved as it was a waste of their time and money.

I didn't understand what people saw in her first album, but Kala was pretty cool.
