Yes, M.I.A. Did Flip You Off During The Super Bowl

I'm not annoyed because she flipped the bird during her performance with Madonna. I'm annoyed because this will be the most reported thing about the entire game.

NOT the 9 and 7 Giants toppling perennial favorites in the New England Patriots.

NOT the face Bill Belichik made that looked like he was gonna call down a ninja hitman on every member of the Giants. And their families.

It will be all about M.I.A.'s middle finger. A desperate claw for celebrity attention which isn't even necessary since she's still one of the hottest things in music right now. Check out her new song. Ain't it awesome? (Check out the mad stuntery at 2:55 mark)

For a mediocre rapper she's well connected with excellent beats. And now thanks to this she's gonna get a lot more attention.

You may be saying it's because of guys like me, media folk who support the lowest common denominator with stories about the most desperate of human behaviors.

You're right...mostly.

I'm soooooooo looking forward to typing out 'M'-DOT-'I'-DOT-'A'-DOT every time I wanna say something that involves her.

But seriously, we do it because you watch. You listen. You click.

So what's your excuse?
