MrCrushrider:

"MIA's controversial new video for Born Free seems to have had the desired effect, notching up a flotilla of web coverage in the past 24 hours, after it was given an adult rating on YouTube. She may even have some new fans in China now, which I'm sure she'll be pleased about.

The unexpurgated nine-minute video features American police rounding up redheads, beating them, bundling them into vans that head for the desert before shooting a child in the head and blowing another up with a landmine. Subtle political commentary it is not. A crude metaphor for the treatment of minorities, it is. "

It's a hell of a lot better than "Telephone".

I like it, and it may well wake a few people up.

I watched the same director's video for a Justice track yesterday - featured a bunch of chavs going round wrecking stuff, smacking people up etc etc. Nasty stuff.
As a publicity grabber, his style certainly works.
Haven't managed to watch the whole MIA one yet.

Is it meant to be indicitive of bad tretment of say Jews in Germany but with modern twist. Pretty random and shocking though it's worked for publicity.
