And Finally
Madonna brands MIA childish
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 13 February 2012
Madonna’s never been one to worry about offending people, so when The Sun reported last week that she was livid that MIA had flashed her middle finger at the camera during her guest appearance on Madge’s Super Bowl halftime extravaganza, we were a little dubious. But apparently she was quite unhappy about it. So there you go.
Speaking to LA radio station KIIS-FM, Madonna said: “I didn’t know about it until I left. I was really surprised. I didn’t know anything about it. I understand it’s punk rock and everything, but to me there was such a feeling of love and good energy, and positivity. It seemed negative. It’s one of the those things, it’s such a teenager, irrelevant thing to do … what was the point? It was just out of place”.
Rumour has it that MIA herself claims to have made the gesture accidentally when nerves got the better of her. I’m not sure why anyone’s that bothered, for all this talk you’d think she’d run towards the camera screaming “FUCK YOU AMERICA, YOU CUNT!” rather than the half-second barely visible movement she actually did.
The Federal Communications Commission, which is in charge of handing out fines for such terrible things, has not yet confirmed if it is acting upon any complaints regarding MIA’s finger.
