M.I.A. Flips Middle Finger at Super Bowl 2012

06 Feb 2012. Sri Lankan born Tamil singer M.I.A. is notorious for promotion of violence. She raised her middle finger at Superbowl 2012 shocking American viewers and disappointing NFL organizers. Eight years after Janet Jackson's "nipplegate", the flip of MIA's middle at the Super Bowl 2012 raises doubts of people if  it has become a tradition of Super Bowl to use a controversial 'eye catcher'. However organizers expressed their disappointment. "It is an unacceptable gesture and we are very disappointed" - NFL organizers. The singer made the gesture during the intermission of the show. M.I.A. stood together on stage with Madonna singing Madonna's new Album 'Give Me All Your Luvin'. NBC television could not get it together for the gesture in time to fade. Spokesman Christopher McCloskey has apologized for that reason, reports Associated Press. Also, the NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy apologizes: "It is an unacceptable gesture and we are very disappointed"

PAPER PLANES by M.I.A.


Lyric PAPER PLANES:

I fly like paper, get high like planes
If you catch me at the border I got visas in my name
If you come around here, I make 'em all day
I get one down in a second if you wait

Sometimes I think sitting on trains
Every stop I get to I'm clocking that game
Everyone's a winner, we're making our fame
Bona fide hustler making my name

All I wanna do is (BANG BANG BANG BANG!)
And (KKKAAAA CHING!)
And take your money

Pirate skulls and bones
Sticks and stones and weed and bombs
Running when we hit 'em
Lethal poison for the system

No one on the corner has swagger like us
Hit me on my Burner prepaid wireless
We pack and deliver like UPS trucks
Already going hell just pumping that gas

All I wanna do is (BANG BANG BANG BANG!)
And (KKKAAAA CHING!)
And take your money

M.I.A.
Third world democracy
Yeah, I got more records than the K.G.B.
So, uh, no funny business

Some some some I some I murder
Some I some I let go
Some some some I some I murder
Some I some I let go

All I wanna do is (BANG BANG BANG BANG!)
And (KKKAAAA CHING!)
And take your money
