A Slumping Mad Men Heads to Its Season Finale
Who Should Play Christian & Anastasia In 'Fifty Shades Of Grey'?
On Monday morning, political rapper/singer M.I.A. released a controversial 9-minute short film for her latest single 'Born Free' depicting red headed teenagers being rounded up by U.S. authorities and forced to run through an active minefield. The video is brutal, uncompromising and merciless, but was it enough to get banned from YouTube?In the video, a group of police officers, with conspicuous U.S. flags stitched into their uniform, break into various homes, beating up onlookers and interlopers while rounding up redheads to violently escort to a prison bus. After being driven to the desert in the middle of nowhere, the teenagers are forced at gunpoint to run through a minefield. With its graphic depictions of point-blank shootings and bodily explosions, it's a difficult, yet necessary, video to watch.

have you ever heard of Andamana Islands? it is an island administered by india and located in Indian ocean. among the tribes that live in that island,there were people that had african hair texture. in 1976 when I was a student in India, I heard that there were people in that island who looked liked me,and that they were subjected to systematic extermination. I expressed my interest in visiting the island but sadly the place was off limits to foreigners, let alone the rest of indians. the last member of those minority inhabitants of that place died some time this year. her death caused an extinction of never to be retrieved. languege, culture and civilizarion. we haven't heard an uproar from the so called enviromentalists and humanitarians.extermination of voiceless still goes on. would someone tell me why we do not hear any thing about the uprooted people of the diago garcia island which was administered by the great britain and was leased to U.S.A. more power to those who expose evil in the name of more money.

I have seen worse in a cheap B movie. I am sick of so called "artists" who think we give a crap about their opinions. To all the Bono's and Sean Penn's out there, shut up and enjoy your millions, your 15 minutes is over.
Great video....too bad about the song.

Kick butt track and awesome video. Just because the peanut gallery here doesnt apprecitate integrity or creativity doesnt mean it's not important. It is.
And to the bozo who referred to Bono and Penn's 15 minutes. well their 15 minutess has lasted almost thirty years and is still going by everyones count. You havent even had that. so go back to yanking it in the stock room at home depot.

It wouldn't be the first time when prophets were burned for delivering un conventional message. history will always repeat itself.
I think it's racism...somehow...right. White bad ... dark good.

Uh...where's the song? Alot of nice,put together images with a heavy beat in the background,but that's all it appears to be,if all the scratchy yelling over the synth effects are supposed to be "the song" then were in trouble here.Where's the song?

If she & her friend are concerned w/ how this people are treated in these countries, why don't she go down thier & say something to those government officials. instead of getting others to fight the cause she thinks need fighting. sorry the only war i want our sons,brothers,fathers,mothers,uncles,aunts. are the wars that will interfere with thier way of life not some Else's.if some off you don't feel that way,you know where to go to do something about it.

This is absolute junk-like a high school filmmaking project. It purports to be shocking but I was cracking up most of the time.
Laughable-an al-Queda freakout or two may be turned on, nobody else.

What people think is 'music' and how 'artist' is defined nowadays is indicative of the crap thats on the radio and on tv. This is not music. The video is dumb. At least the concept is interesting. Too many sheep.

I like the idea of the video but I can see why its not on youtube... I dont think i'd want my little brother or sister watching this. The message of this video is very serious and I wouldnt want the young generation thinking this is funny... as one response said.
