Posted 16 years ago #Lol, I don't think it's about gingers trench. Is it not a statement of fact about the way that we can ascribe lesser value to a particular group of humans based on the way that they look? And is it not a criticism of our actions in Iraq and Afghanistan and Pakistan? I quite like it. She's caused a stir which is cool. Better than using your fame and fortune to go on about how f*cking rich and cool you are, which is what the music videos for pretty much everyone else do...
Big up MIA I think she's great. -

it may get more peoples attention who are blind to what is happening to certain groups of ppl around the world..
...but yeah....the song is basically an excuse to make the video...not too good -
Posted 16 years ago #I like the Song and the video is pretty dope, she cud of dressed up with feck all on and shaked her booty and no doubt the song would be a massive hit but instead she tried to make a point, respect to her 4 tha.
Also, she aint long had a kid has she? so shes out there rocking alreay.
