loved the song, loved the video! I have to say I haven't watched an entire music video in over a decade. Usually shit gets boring real fast but this was entertaining the entire time.
I like her new sound.

People still listen to this? I thought this died out with Diplo and all that other shite music.

I think she's possibly the smartest artist out right now. Disguising serious content as pop = brilliant. Didn't she go to St Martins?

Well done video, although the message seems a little heavy-handed for my taste.
On another note, MIA is super hot!

Where do they live??? Do they have their own country?

Found this, re: sending children running through minefields; apparently Iran likes this policy.

^ From wiki :
"Iranian law prohibits the recruitment of those under 16, basing itself on the Koranic traditions about war. However, the state broke those rules in the Iran-Iraq War. In 1984, Iranian President Ali-Akbar Rafsanjani said, “all Iranians from 12 to 72 should volunteer for the Holy War.”[27] The child soldiers wore keys around their necks to signify their coming entrance into heaven. Ettelaat, an Iranian daily, reported, “Before entering the minefields, the children wrap themselves in blankets and they roll on the ground, so that their body parts stay together after the explosion of the mines and one can carry them to the graves.”[28] An unknown number of schoolchildren currently serve in the ranks of the Basij, an Iranian paramilitary force, according to CSUCS. They have reported that the state conscripts for the regular army at age 19- while accepting volunteers at age 16- and those at 17 can work for the police.[29]"

This garbage is made to serve.
Got a group of people who like what other people like?
Serve up mtv/radio music.
Got a particular group of people who want to identify with being "individuals"? Serve this up to that market segment.Boiled down to intent, this shit's no different. It doesn't challenge shit.
Think for your god damn selves.

Cannoball1978 - talking of serving market segment , do you not have a novel charting the sexual excesses of a small group of late thirty-something New York belles to finish up?
