M.I.A-s middle finger, obscene, is it even a new?!?!?!?

Here's some most likely taurine excreta regarding the middle finger (also claimed about the V sign):

Yet, tv, radio, and video games contantly barrage us with all kinds of negative images, languages, killings etc.

As mention, the world's economy is going down the drain and we as a society is worried more about what's going on with a crappy football game half time activities.

Interesting...

The thing is where does it end?

Soon you'll have madonna or some woman masturbating live on stage.

Throwing up the middle-finger is not appropriate for a major sporting event, or any event that families are present.

They need to ban her for life, and send out a signal to next years female acts not do to the same (because it seems all these problems and 'wardrobe malfunctions' are coming from the female acts).

Theres a point in there, but with the way that Washington is dominated by 'big money' and lobbyists, I doubt the U.S. government (as it stands) is going to do anything about the massive subsidies and bizarre 'rights' that major corporations (and friends) have.

Woman masturbating live on stage? Old. Bjork was doing that years ago (no, shes doesnt do that anymore).

Ban M.I.A. for life...from what?

I wouldnt compare an exuberant gesture with a publicity grab explained away as a 'wardrobe malfunction'. Its bloody obvious that there was no 'wardrobe malfunction', it was preplanned. Completely different to a gresture that IMO was done on the spur of the moment.
