    I'm glad Cuch is back, because as I said in the other vacuous thread on the same topic, prissy people should be offended at every turn until they stop being morons. Take it away, Cuch!

    I think people being offended about a forum topic is far more oversensitive than being offended by an obscene gesture!

    This is what happens when you let women take off their Hajabs. All glory to Allah.

    I'm not sure what you want. Ever since the JJ fiasco 'live' is really 'minus 5 or so seconds' so it's definitely the fault of the people who can't even be bothered to notice.

    Anyway MIA probably did that to get advertisement, and you fell for it.

    omg think of the children.

    Seriously, there are no more "family values" on television anymore, and it sickens me.

    I think I'm going to start listening to MIA purely because of this thread.

    She's an idiot, you're an idiot for claiming offence. It's not even worth a smurfing paragraph.

    PS: A middle aged women dresses like a middle aged hooker and dry humps dancers and you're put out by a finger.
    Interesting
    I don't think anymore really needs to be said. This pretty much covers my opinion.
    Eyyyyyyyyyyyyy

    Lawl, it's her finger. I fail to see how that shocks and disgusts. Perhaps I'm desensitized, or perhaps I'm more shocked and disgusted by things like children being sodomized in the Catholic Church. It was tasteless I will give you that, but to revert back to the same argument I used when the Janet Jackson controversy arose: how is watching men bang into each other any better? Teaching violent behavior is far worse than teaching rude behavior. With that said, I didn't even watch the Superbowl, but I like MIA—even when it looks like she dresses in the dark.

    You should - go listen to Arular and Kala. Not so much Maya though, that was a bit messy and below par.

    Mirage and Cuch you both know better than to treat other members as such. Mirage, if you don't give a smurf about the topic then please understand no one gives a smurf about you not giving a smurf. If you don't think the topic is worthwhile then don't post in it! Wow. What a novel concept.Cuch don't call members idiots. Again, you think the topic is dumb? The OP obviously doesn't and criticizing them isn't helpful. Or nice. BE NICER YOU JERKASSES.Also I don't think flipping the bird is that awful. I flip the bird at my nearest and dearest all the time.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    When I saw the headline about this all I could think was "Who's MIA?"

    How dare you have the nerve to notice and on top of that actually go ahead and post about it. If you're that incredibly sensitive, gtfo my internet.

    Actually, I rather liked "Maya" a lot. I think it's an underrated album.

    Anyway, M.I.A. is a smart lady. She most likely did it since she knew it would become this ridiculously big deal, and it's thus a comment on America's tendency of insane sensitivity to pretty much everything. That, and she got a whole lot of media coverage.

    Just get over it and use your energy on something worthwhile will ya.
