MIA has found out that she can make herself heard only by playing dirty. She slept with many and finally found a ‘harmelss shy ‘ rich American with lots of money. She did not marry her for love but for money and fame. How come Helen Thomas is given the boot for her opinion on Israel ( so much for freedom of speech) and MIA is agiattingly comfortable in promoting a terrorist group. I think she is a foul mouthed bitch who happens to sing rap. Go to Sri Lanka’s north and do something worthwhile for the poor Tamil people who have suffered so wage war asking for a piece of USA .

Sri Lanka is a rich cultural melting pot, MIA has never mentioned in her interviews anything about the positive side of Sri Lanka’s diverse past…due to colonialism the Portuguese,Dutch,English and other European countries all been to Sri Lanka…sinhalese and tamils are so diverse..it was was the english who in th first place brought the small tamil population from the southern part of India “Tamil Nadu”..years on it is the Tamil Tigers(LTTE terroist group) who want to divide Sri Lanka all that ignorant people such as MIA do is stirr up more political problems for Sri Lankans all over the world…if MIA actually talked about something positive, for example the fact that Sri lankans are united, even through civil war, in Sri Lanka (sinhalese/tamils/buddhists/catholics/christians/muslims all live & work together on that tiny island together) sri lanka has so much beauty in its rich artistic history due to all the different ethnicities which have been there…every country has political struggles, the middle east is far worse off than Sri Lanka…or in Australia, the indigenous aboriginal tribal communities have been ruined due to Europeans interference…right now if u read the current sri lakan news the country has worked hard to finally reach peace, but off course this is not good enough for MIA ,she just a one-sided, narrow minded brat who just makes noise always about the bad, plus if she really wants to help Sri lankans instead of complianing so much she needs to actually go to Sri lanka and help the people, there is no good in her jus shouting about some comments in a newspaper..she is a classic attention seeker making noise to get more popular..she is bad representation for the Sri Lankan people..it is mostly westerners who support her because they know little abt the true struggles of the sri lankan people/history…In regards to her music, she always samples and rips off other artists, for example tht song paper planes is only a catchy tune because she took the music from the song “Straight to Hell” by the Clash..i have no respect for wannabe artists tht get credit from other artist’s genuine talents…originality in the arts is soo rare these day its very diappointing :(

M.I.A and her gang of terrorist sucking supporters should be banned in the US!!! MIA is Tamil Tiger terrorist supporting slut with loud ugly music. I would reco that Homeland Security takes a look at the bitches credentials. All throughout the world the LTTE or Tamil tigers have been banned, yet MIA cries for them.

Don’t know anything about her music, but I love her last quote in that article. Thinking is not a dirty word, indeed.

Question, though, aren’t the Tamil Tigers also known for some atrocious violence and also for using children as soldiers? Seems both sides of that conflict are responsible for some fucked up shit.
