Hip-Hop artist M.I.A. has released a video for the first single "Born Free".
It can be seen here. It is extremely NSFW and contains graphic images:

It has stirred plenty of controversy and discussion. Clearly, the artist knows how to play the publicity game. I am wondering what people's opinions of the video are.
Myself, I find it completely over-the-top and I'm struggling to understand the so-called political statement being made. The song, however, is fantastic.

I think everybody should base their political opinions on what some musicians say.
My opinions are mostly based on these guys:

Edit: I don't think that the song is fantastic, but it does blend with the images being displayed in a fantastic way.

(The rolling stones had to pay KD land about a million for using the sound to KD's "Constant Craving" in the stone's "Anybody seen my baby" song.)
