Um... by far one of the coolest "music videos" I've seen this year so far... Not so sure about the music, but wow!

I would LOOOOOVEEEE to see this win best music video just because its the opposite of any music video out there.

pretty interesting..was curious as to why there seemed to me a mass genocide of gingers?

kind of hilarious at times as well, like the kid blowing to pieces at the end.

fairly interesting, not really sure if i dig it as a music standalone but the video was well executed.

there is probably some deeper meaning to this that I am missing, maybe by showing images of gingers being targeted and killed they are showing how silly racism is.
 
That was nuts. Definitely a good video, it was more like a short film. Music was kinda noisy, but not bad. And there was definitely a message, but I can't figure out what it is, lol.

Don't hate on gingers? We are turning into a police state? Genocide is bad? rofl the opinions can be pretty wide on this one.
 
Since it's blocked in the UK by Vevo, here's one for all the UK people.

It can't be getting real airplay... It's got ugly boobs and child killing in it... Quite a pair of no-nos around here...

Judging by the name, I'm thinking this is a "Be happy for what you've got" piece, and it had quite a few similarities to Hitler's treatment of the Jews in it.

Basically I think the author was high while writing it... Don't look too deep for a point other than that.
 
Do redheaded people really catch that much shit? I don't know b/c I've only known like, 3.
 
Wow, interesting video. But I think this fucking bitch makes controversial music videos cause she can't fucking sing for shit. Fuck her.

I think it was about the palistinians, or maybe about the cows farting methane and ripping a hole in the ozone. Or it could have been about culottes (the short/skirt hybrid being the red head of the fashion world), who the fuck knows. It just seemed like self important hey-look-at-my-way-too-obvious-metaphor film school jizz.

since MIA is Sri Lankan Tamil and her father was a general in the Tamil Tigers I assume the redheads are a metaphor for the oppressed Sri Lankan Tamil peoples. The message of the video being that gingers being persecuted is as hypocritical as the tamils getting their asses handed to them and kicked out of sri lanka.
