M.I.A. Was “Born Free” (Video & Download)

Usually I watch videos and have no shortage of witty commentary about the visuals that have just passed before my eyes (or so I'd like to believe), but sometimes a video comes along that is so mind-boggling all you can do when it ends is ask, "what the fuckity fuck was that shit?' That's exactly the case with the always boundary-pushing M.I.A. and the new video for her single "Born Free". How can I describe "Born Free"? Hmmm....well, basically picture a world in which the people who think gingers have no souls have taken over the country and insititued a ginger holocaust. (If that didn't make and sense you obviously haven't watched this.)

Anwyay, I hate to be predictable, but I'm going to have to agree with the general consensus and say that while the vidoe's incredible, or maybe just incredibly shocking, I'm not really a fan of the song. It just kind of sits there. I'll shut up now so you can get to watching.
