Slightly? This is up there with that original Star Trek episode where they find the last two members of an alien race who are black on one side of their bodies and white on the other side, and half of them are black on the left and half are black on the right, and they have exterminated each other over this difference, but the humans can't tell between them.

Which is to say it's not so much hamfisted as a great big sledgehammer of frozen meat being smashed against your skull by a riod-raging Russian bodybuilder.

That's the thing I found weirdest about it. I would never think to compare the two's music, but the fact that M.I.A. does I find baffling.

Apparently she was told over and over again, how they are alike. I don't think she made the comparison herself.

which in turn would've made a much better music video

If I'm hearing it first from her, than she's as good as making the comparison herself.

If we're comparing this to Star Trek, let's do it with Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (Working Title: WHAAAAAAAAAALES).
