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.

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...

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.
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 2 June 2010 16:49 (thirteen years ago) link
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.

"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."

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
