Dude this was the most meaningless bullshit I've ever seen in my life. This could have been such a better video but all I saw shyt. ooh your a ginger kid and your gonna die just because, WTF!!! LAME ASS VIDEO and the music sucked!!! good lordy, I thought she couldn't get any worse, I was terribly wrong!! oh yeah the kid escaped dressed as a guard. But logically they would have shot his in the back while he was running away...end of video! BOOOOOO!!

Ohh wait a minute he didn't escape that makes this video even worse. this video should be on a site called LikeShit.com, dang.

1:19, best part of the video.
Also, you're both fucking idiots who clearly fail to understand the video at all.  You're a moron, Infiniti, do the world a favor and take a nap on some train tracks.

I agree with you Johnathon. Infiniti is a dumbass, really.. Did you get nothing from this video? It's replacing whats going on overseas with red headed men to show that if we did this to our own people, it would sick and disgusting [just like joshua said]. It's metaphoric.

I can't say I enjoyed this video but it definitely did not suck.  I didn't like how gory and kinda raw they made it seem but I really don't think they would have gotten their point across without it.


GINGERS DO HAVE SOULS!

how embarassing, some people don't get the criticism.

Thank you Johnathon and Jennyfer.

Woooow... T_T so I did my research, and I apologize for all that bullshit I said. I'm gonna go sleep on some train tracks now jk. But for now on I will get more info on a video before I blast off on how its a piece of shyt.
Thanks for settin me strait, and by the way they could have put this shyt in the  description instead of the directors and artist that made this still crappy ass video. It was my first time watchin this shyt.    (http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2010/may/06/mia-born-free-shakira)

I didn't have to to research, the message was very plainly obvious, and you're an idiot for not seeing it.

Use all the trendy words you like. This video was made purely to sell noise which was really bad, and cause shock. It's so Hollywood.The sicko who produced this is no better than the sickos that direct the destruction of the innocent in areas of conflict around the globe. MIA and the crew should go get a taste of the real world before they try making video-graphic statements, that are BS and obviously designed to get hits on the net or where ever.

T_T eh whatever.

THIS VIDEO IS OLD LikeCool!

Hey Duke, noise can't be bad, you shit-eating faggot.  It's completely subjective, and if you're shocked by riot police, you're a kidiot.  So what exactly are you doing to improve the global situation?

Duke, maybe you should do a little research before you shit on MIA. She was born in Sri Lanka during the Sri Lankan Civil War, and incorporates politics in her music to send a message, not to sell noise. "Every bit of music out there that’s making it into the mainstream is really about nothing. I wanted to see if I could write songs about something important and make it sound like nothing." - MIA. Kind of brilliant if you ask me. Maybe you should get a taste of the real world instead of sitting atop your ignorant, anonymous internet-commenting throne of bigotry. Douche.

Not born in Sri Lanka, sorry. Moved when she was sixth months old. Irrelevant though.
#18 Post by InfinitiMinded, on Mon May 10 2010 10:3 AM
dang...yall are riding MIA's dick pretty hard. T_T wtf

I had never heard any MIA before this.  I knew nothing about her, apparently a her.  I can just tell when something is good, typically when fucking retards dislike it, that makes me like it on principle.
