"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

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

da croupier, Wednesday, 2 June 2010 18:58 (sixteen years ago)

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.

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

I am a pig and I ate the truffles.

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.

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

i wish the deej/wgw thing would continue but calm down and not be butthurt, cuz bros zinging bros goodnaturedly over silly shit like this can be such gold

NUDE. MAYNE. (s1ocki), Thursday, 3 June 2010 02:36 (sixteen years ago)

I am willing to use the MIA thread to extend a long-needed olive branch to my man deej.

tom postin' (Whiney G. Weingarten), Thursday, 3 June 2010 02:38 (sixteen years ago)

I'm not actually butthurt, I generally think it's funny, but if it's actually annoying other ppl we should prolly stop

tom postin' (Whiney G. Weingarten), Thursday, 3 June 2010 02:39 (sixteen years ago)

I honestly don't think deej is b/h either

max, Thursday, 3 June 2010 02:49 (sixteen years ago)

i didnt think my zing was particularly bhurt causing or really qualified as DEEJ WHINEY BEEF. it was a callback to a way old whiney zing that basically everyone has made & had nothing to do w/ me & him arguing about hipsters white people or gucci mane

its like why GROCERY BAG and not saddam? (deej), Thursday, 3 June 2010 03:14 (sixteen years ago)

Yeah but there was no reason to even zing me in the first place! I didn't even say anything!

tom postin' (Whiney G. Weingarten), Thursday, 3 June 2010 03:38 (sixteen years ago)

I think there is one poster besides deej & whiney who enjoys deej/whiney beef & he's sort of obligated to by his gimmick
