MIA

Some rhubard might help.

Wonder if any restaurant's tried making truffled rhubarb yet?

I just read the NYT Mag article. Good god did MIA (whose music Ive never knowingly heard) make an utter fool out of herself. complete embarrassment, fun read though.

"Give war a chance"

Great call.

Yeah, the "give war a chance" quote is by far the "fuck you" deal-sealer in this whole thing.

barenaked ladies frontman steven page orders a meatball sub and instructs his sandwich artist to 'hold the cheese'. "I do this to save the 40 calories," he adds.

Gucci Mane tenderly chomps down on a McDonalds hamburger, the quintessential all-American populist meal. Everyone in the restaurant, from old white-haired grandmothers down to infants who can barely walk, hobble up to him and plead for autographs, as he is currently the most famous celebrity on the planet. A small cluster of hipsters in American Apparel hoodies slump over their McRibs, naturally totally oblivious the the superduperstar that's in their midst. I, deej, am worried that my fellow Chicagoans may see me, yet I still reach down and fumble with my erect penis...

ew

that was uncalled for

always good to get some poster-oriented slash fanfic on the board tbh

nothing lasts forever, even warm, freshly-cooked truffle fries

can we just rename the board to I Love Beating A Joke To Death With My Bare Fucking Hands

I'll sign this petition.

Isn't that the name of the next MIA album? Oh wait she has no sense of humor. Well, maybe the one after this one, assuming she gains some perspective.

Continuing in the tradition of naming her records after people who are important to her -- her father, mother, and herself -- M.I.A. has announced that her fourth record will be titled Lynn Hirschberg.

looooooooooool u guys r funny! :)

According to Pitchfork, this is the album cover:

I actually really like it

"She says the same thing repeatedly," said Ms. Hirschberg. "She didn't just say that once or twice or three times. She repeated things constantly. She said that once and said a variation of it on other occasions. She repeated herself all the time."

LOL

she is being imprisoned by bloggers! i get it.

x-post

or being blocked by YouTube

Wait, is Lynn Hirschberg saying MIA repeated herself? Repeated herself constantly? Constantly all the time?

Also she seems to be for the US returning to the Gold Standard </Ron Paul>

That album cover is almost as stupid as the political "insight" she graced us with in that article.

old skool youtube player

Ms. Hirschberg isn't just saying that once or twice. She's repeating it constantly. Repeatedly. Over and over.

so either these two are the most self-aware satirists on Earth or they should both be locked together in a room so they can make out already

I'm trying to parse her Grammy comment, because if we should be "Giving war a chance" then "Our opportunity to help" would be donating money for the purchase of guns, bombs, landmines, other arms, etc.

conscription would really set us all straight imo

crap album cover. shame cos i really like her website design and thought the album would look similar, rather than shit.

i know its been said but every time i see this thread now i just want to taste truffle flavoured french fries. i never even knew you could get so many varieties of fries.

from the comments box on that observer piece -

I am an audio producer. The M.I.A. tapes on her website have been clearly edited. You can hear the edits if you know what to listen for. Whether they were condensed simply for length, or to remove something like M.I.A., saying, "oooo, the Truffle fries, I LOVE truffle fries..." We will never know. But edited, they are.

I am an anonymous expert posting in the Comments on a website. You can trust me.

I am tempted to post "I am a chef and truffle fries are delicious"

I am a pig and I ate the truffles.

I want you as my waiter.

wow whiney. horrible post.

When I was last in the UK they had a flavor of crisp called "Cajun Squirrel." If MIA had been chowing down on them, none of this would have ever happened.

"I shouldn't make light of the name," mumbles MIA as she chews on a fistful of crisps, colorfully flavored Cajun Squirrel. "There are places in the world where one squirrel would feed a whole family, where wars are fought over squirrels." She pauses. "My grandfather raised squirrels." MIA briefly ponders the broader implications of her snack. "But you know what? I don't care what anyone thinks. I would kill for these crisps. Have you tried them? They're bloody delicious." She shoves another fistful into her mouth. "I suppose that makes me a terrorist," she finally declares, moist, processed potato crumbs gathering at the corners of her mouth.

wow whiney. horrible post.

haha he sent me a link of it as soon as he posted it beaming with pride, i was like uhhh dude. but seriously you guys should just call a truce at least on ilx, it's a huge drag for everyone else, let it go.

so wait, why is whiney fantasizing about deej's tube?

i better still be allowed to zing whiney generally -- didnt know he had anything to do w/ the barenaked ladies aside from maybe looking like a member

"haha he sent me a link of it as soon as he posted it beaming with pride"

Creepy.

is there anybody besides deej and whiney who thinks their squabbling and h.f."j"s between one another add anything to a conversation? speaking for myself with rancor to neither, I wish you guys would just take it to email, or to your tumblrs if you must. it's just a bummer here in my opinion. like deej you know how when I attack you for saying anything mildly pro-Obama, it comes off super-lame? heal thyself man
