M.I.A. is not a happy camper

She just posted 2 pictures on twitter, one of a mutilated, dead child and then a pile of dead bodies in response to this New York Times article http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/10/travel/10places.html





Click her tweets at your own risk.

*She's posted one more pic, more dead kids, but I think she's done for now.

WHAT IS SHE KANYE?!
amitabhbachchan 12th-Jan-2010 01:25 am (UTC)
did you read what she wrote though
konfidential 12th-Jan-2010 01:32 am (UTC)
Are you actually fucking for real?
dnttllhrry 12th-Jan-2010 01:38 am (UTC)
there are dead fucking kids in Sri Lanka because of an ongoing civil war and all you care about is her fucking caps lock?!
bizarrre 12th-Jan-2010 01:18 am (UTC)
I thought there were dead bodies in every country.

I know when I walk out my door I see children hanging from posts and god knows I can't walk down the street without stepping over a dismembered corpse.
ledasdaughter 12th-Jan-2010 08:24 am (UTC)

ohsnapohsnap 12th-Jan-2010 01:18 am (UTC)
wouldn't tourism boost their economy and stuff?
fabnana 12th-Jan-2010 01:21 am (UTC)
I think she's more angry at the white/rich priviledge aspect of it.
ohsnapohsnap 12th-Jan-2010 01:22 am (UTC)

Idk, I feel like she's blowing it out of proportion; crime, murder, and conflict happen everywhere.

Ikr? I didn't expect it to be THAT bad, but it was pretty gruesome :(

wow. That was really graphic. Be careful before you click, bb's!

Fuck it. I clicked it anyway.

Desensitization. It's real.

margariita 12th-Jan-2010 01:40 am (UTC)
yeah, the mutilated child freaked me out, but the other two...i'm feeling the same as you. they're awful yes, but there is a certain level of desensitization. sad.
_natsumi_ 12th-Jan-2010 01:43 am (UTC)
I clicked ,while eating a chicken leg and I didn't choke

Desensitized

For me, unfortunately, this was also the case. The internet has ruined me.
quasiantisocial 12th-Jan-2010 02:09 am (UTC)
At first I felt the same way. Perhaps it will affect you more than you think
so_typically_me 12th-Jan-2010 02:22 am (UTC)
yeah years ago that would have horrified me, but i'm so desensitized to it now

Yep. Only one of them was really difficult for me too look at.
muzicnem 19th-Jan-2010 05:35 pm (UTC)
Idk what's wrong w/ me but rarely do images of violence get to me. I find them sad but it's not like, overwhelming or too much for me to look at.
astormatsea 12th-Jan-2010 01:19 am (UTC)
right, let's not send anyone there and decrease awareness of the situation
winniechili 12th-Jan-2010 01:22 am (UTC)
LOL, the people who go to the resorts of Sri Lanka don't give a damn.

you say this like the wealthy people going there will ever see these things happening in person and do something about it
hip_hop_korner 12th-Jan-2010 01:28 am (UTC)
The New York Times is encouraging people to go there and VACATION, not be political activists.
amitabhbachchan 12th-Jan-2010 01:28 am (UTC)
because the new york times article was inviting people to go and do something about it
heycunthead 12th-Jan-2010 03:41 am (UTC)
logic fail
i8gilbertgrape 12th-Jan-2010 03:55 pm (UTC)
People don't go on vacation to increase their awareness of genocide.
brandon198403 12th-Jan-2010 01:20 am (UTC)
Those pics cannot be unseen. I understand her anger, but there are more proactive ways to making your point than just screaming FUCK YOU endlessly. Write an editorial and send it to the Times or something
sarahrose 12th-Jan-2010 01:26 am (UTC)
From the looks of her grammatical skills on Twitter, it doesn't appear she can write.
konfidential 12th-Jan-2010 01:33 am (UTC)
Yeah, that was the point honey.
deerlike 12th-Jan-2010 03:08 am (UTC)
Um, no, patois. Look it up. She has been known to make deliberate use of it in her blog posts.
fate_steps_in 12th-Jan-2010 03:11 am (UTC)
She could write it and then hire someone to fix it so it can actually be read by the public.
synflood 12th-Jan-2010 06:18 am (UTC)
she can't speak, either. she went on real time with bill maher to bring awareness to something or other and managed to sit there for about 5 or more minutes and say nothing of substance. i was less informed after the interview than i was before i tuned in. my mind was clouded with "wtf.....is this shit.."

she can't seem to make one single coherent rational thought come out of her mouth
jessashoutbaby 12th-Jan-2010 06:18 pm (UTC)
I think I am in love with your icon.
xx_rapunzel_xx 12th-Jan-2010 01:39 am (UTC)
i guess she posted on twitter because it's more accessible and she knows a lot more people would read that instead of the new york times. an editorial is a good idea, though.
heycunthead 12th-Jan-2010 03:42 am (UTC)
right. i'm sure her gut reaction is to think, "okay let me just take a deep breath and send them a nasty letter!"
rinirini This.12th-Jan-2010 04:15 am (UTC)
Thanks for saying it.
simontheduck 12th-Jan-2010 05:40 pm (UTC)
You really thing the NYT would publish an editorial about this? With those images? It'd just be like every other ignorable editorial ever.
fabnana 12th-Jan-2010 01:20 am (UTC)
She's right though, it's fucked up to suggest going somewhere on holiday whilst the country is going through a civil war and you go to the non war torn areas so you can get a ~break from it all~

Even knowing that they sliced open a cow's eyeball for that scene doesn't make it any less affecting.

i took a caribbean lit class about 2 years ago, and the professor made a similar point about the caribbean islands. there are a lot of destitute areas and political unrest, but the resorts are always glorified so it sounds like the islands are a great place to go on vacation. true, tourism is a big part of the economy, but going to resorts are like going to a fantasy land where you can escape from all the poverty and such.

except that they're not going through a civil war anymore and the country needs all the economic boosting it can get. she needs to calm down.
otherjoseph 12th-Jan-2010 12:03 pm (UTC)
the article specifically said the worst was behind though.

i think she's angry that the article trivialized everything else about her country, but- girl better remember that murder sadly happens everywhere.

I almost lol'd (even though this is most certainly not funny), but this song will never not be beautiful and poignant to me.


Yes, I am a giant pussy. What of it? lol
wildreeds23 12th-Jan-2010 01:24 am (UTC)
Nah, it's really beautiful, I tear up every single time.
waterinmylungs7 12th-Jan-2010 01:23 am (UTC)
I can't hear this song without thinking of jokes about dogs. Damn you snl!
squirrelsarerad 12th-Jan-2010 01:25 am (UTC)
I will never hear this song again without thinking of animal abuse :(

I love her for doing what she does for the aspca though.

whitegirlthin 12th-Jan-2010 02:02 am (UTC)
My grandma has said for YEARS now that she wants this song to be played at her funeral. :'(
kattyerin 12th-Jan-2010 02:44 am (UTC)
ugh, we played this at my brother's funeral and then right afterwards, it became her next single. FML. i went from liking it, to having it make me cry, to loathing it like i have never loathed before.
