Born Free

I really liked M.I.A’s new video. In case you haven’t seen it:

M.I.A, Born Free from ROMAIN-GAVRAS on Vimeo.

I read a lot of people saying it’s definitely NSFW and maybe it had gone too far, etc, etc… I found it a lot less disturbing than the recent video of US soldiers in Afghanistan shooting innocent people from a helicopter and laughing (released on youtube by wikileaks). I’m really surprised there hasn’t been more comparison of it to Afghanistan and Iraq.

    I hate videos that attempt psuedo-intellectualism. It’s nice that it gets you thinking about what is essentially pop culture but I don’t think this sits in the same league as the fog of war in modern combat.

    The video was 2007 in Iraq.
