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.

I saw that article yesterday and thought of her
[info]fagerstrom 12th-Jan-2010 01:18 am (UTC)
WHAT IS SHE KANYE?!
[info]amitabhbachchan 12th-Jan-2010 01:25 am (UTC)
did you read what she wrote though
[info]konfidential 12th-Jan-2010 01:32 am (UTC)
Are you actually fucking for real?
[info]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?!
[info]bizarrre 12th-Jan-2010 01:18 am (UTC)
I thought there were dead bodies in every country.
[info]sarahrose 12th-Jan-2010 01:25 am (UTC)

[info]geekbynight 12th-Jan-2010 01:35 am (UTC)

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.
[info]ledasdaughter 12th-Jan-2010 08:24 am (UTC)
not like these, no
[info]ohsnapohsnap 12th-Jan-2010 01:18 am (UTC)
wouldn't tourism boost their economy and stuff?
[info]fabnana 12th-Jan-2010 01:21 am (UTC)
I think she's more angry at the white/rich priviledge aspect of it.
[info]ohsnapohsnap 12th-Jan-2010 01:22 am (UTC)
gotcha
[info]bring_me_clouds 12th-Jan-2010 01:48 am (UTC)

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

[info]ex_dotdot12 12th-Jan-2010 01:22 am (UTC)

[info]luvherbones 12th-Jan-2010 01:37 am (UTC)

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

If they are that bad then I trust you.

Fuck it. I clicked it anyway.

Me too. Desensitized.
[info]visceralvamp 12th-Jan-2010 01:29 am (UTC)

[info]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.
[info]_natsumi_ 12th-Jan-2010 01:43 am (UTC)
I clicked ,while eating a chicken leg and I didn't choke

Desensitized

[info]rosieisriveting 12th-Jan-2010 02:02 am (UTC)
For me, unfortunately, this was also the case. The internet has ruined me.
[info]quasiantisocial 12th-Jan-2010 02:09 am (UTC)
At first I felt the same way. Perhaps it will affect you more than you think
[info]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
[info]ghost_chick_13 12th-Jan-2010 02:30 am (UTC)
Not even the children? That's fucked up.

[info]pervertedlikeme 12th-Jan-2010 03:39 am (UTC)
me too. I think it's 'cause I watch so much torture porn in horror movies.
[info]odella 12th-Jan-2010 04:34 am (UTC)

[info]jay_oats 12th-Jan-2010 06:21 am (UTC)
Yep. Only one of them was really difficult for me too look at.
[info]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.
[info]astormatsea 12th-Jan-2010 01:19 am (UTC)
right, let's not send anyone there and decrease awareness of the situation
[info]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
[info]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.
[info]amitabhbachchan 12th-Jan-2010 01:28 am (UTC)
because the new york times article was inviting people to go and do something about it
[info]heycunthead 12th-Jan-2010 03:41 am (UTC)
logic fail
[info]i8gilbertgrape 12th-Jan-2010 03:55 pm (UTC)
People don't go on vacation to increase their awareness of genocide.
[info]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
[info]sarahrose 12th-Jan-2010 01:26 am (UTC)
From the looks of her grammatical skills on Twitter, it doesn't appear she can write.
[info]konfidential 12th-Jan-2010 01:33 am (UTC)
Yeah, that was the point honey.
[info]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.
[info]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.
[info]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
[info]jessashoutbaby 12th-Jan-2010 06:18 pm (UTC)
I think I am in love with your icon.
[info]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.
[info]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!"
[info]rinirini This. — 12th-Jan-2010 04:15 am (UTC)
Thanks for saying it.
[info]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.
[info]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.
[info]whitegirlthin 12th-Jan-2010 02:01 am (UTC)

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.
[info]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
[info]wildreeds23 12th-Jan-2010 01:24 am (UTC)
Nah, it's really beautiful, I tear up every single time.
[info]waterinmylungs7 12th-Jan-2010 01:23 am (UTC)
I can't hear this song without thinking of jokes about dogs. Damn you snl!
[info]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.

this song...
[info]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. :'(
[info]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.
