I agree; the "hip-to-be-snarky" crowd comes out again to feast on another artist. I swear no one actually LIKES music on this site.

7. Nothing constructive to add in this space, I just like lists.
8. As long as her records stay this strong, she can type in bold, italicized, struckthrough caps with a wingdings font and a zubaz background.

6. Artist who knows very well the commercial politics of producing art throws a mendacious pissy fit about it.

5. Those of us who thought 'For an artist who sampled the Clash, MIA seems to have missed out on the lyrics of "Complete Control"' think about other things.

1, An artists work is pointlessly butchered and posted on a mainstream site.

2, Artist feels this is unfair and says so on artists personal site (in caps).

3, Artist is jeered by an unsympathetic blog commentary accusing artist of overreaction and worse, overreaction using caps.

4, Lady Internet sheds another tear for the soul of humanity

So let me get this straight, MIA is up in arms over a "censored" video that will only ever appear as a 40-second clip on MTV?

SOMEONE TELL THAT GIRL WHO WAS A "ONE TO WATCH" VIDEO ARTIST IN LA AND LONDON (I THINK HER NAME WAS MAYA), WHO WORKED FOR JUSTINE FRISCHMANN FOR A LONG TIME THAT HER MOCK-SHOCK AT MTV IS JUST AS INSULTING AS HER "OF THE PEOPLE" BULLSHIT AND SLOGANEERING.

Call me a bitch, but it is hard to sympathize with anyone who writes in all caps.
