How ****ing ridiculous. Do these people not have any other more important, pressing issues to consider and deal with rather than a spontaneous middle finger gesture which most people have done numerous times in their life? I cannot stand people that think actions like this are the worst type of crime on planet earth. Seriously...get over it.

It's a gesture...which represents a word..which has a certain meaning. Is it important? No. I'll never understand the big deal surrounding swearing. Who the **** cares?

Madonna must have been a bad influence on M.I.A. but atlleast she learned from the best...

Ah, same with people I know. They only know her for that, so I guess she's as "big" there as she is here.

I was at work so I didn't even get to see the half time show.

And she should have thought about it before she did it. Pretty much all of america was watching this, and parents were going to have their little kids watching it.

But what else do you expect from a Superbowl show?

Honestly, you could barely see it. It was like a split second, and you don't even really see it unless you're looking for it.

She does it in the video at the exact same point.

Typical M.I.A, just doesn't give a ****.

Love her, she looked so hot last night also... plus was the only one out of Madge, Nicki and herself to lip-sync in time. Nicki can't even mime her own rap because it's too fast lmao.

& anyway, wasn't M.I.A. censored in the US a few years ago because many thought she was pro-terrorism? Particular during her "Arular" phase with songs like "Bucky Done Gun" and "Galang".

That's what I thought anyway. SO the fact they let her play SUPERBOWL is amazing really.

Anyway, as someone else said - M.I.A. is NOT a child-friendly artist at all and such actions, as "outrageous" as they may be, should have been expected.

i don't give a crap about flipping the bird, i'm just annoyed that MIA is tryna steal Madonna's thunder, cause Madonna's show really WAS amazing, but now instead of everyone talking about how amazing Madonna was, they're gonna talk about MIA's publicity stunt.

If i was Madonna i'd be annoyed.

The only thing this will do is help MIA's career in America, everyone is talking about her. A smart woman
