What do they mean "a spontaneous gesture"? She did it in the video, too.

Uhm, it's just a finger...

I'm pretty sure if your six year old sees that he's not going to start doing it all of a sudden.
In the scope of the effect this finger had, it was nothing.

In fact, I wouldn't even mind if I were a parent because then it would be a valuable lesson to say, "see what that girl did over there? don't do that. it's not nice."

UGH they bitch over everything! It's so annoying. They go overboard with everything.It wasn't that serious...it's just a finger.

Lord have mercy, it wasn't even a big deal.

Over 7,000 bitching about her on Yahoo after being featured on the main page:

That doesn't mean much. Paper Planes was spoon fed to everyone by radio and TV so it's probably the only M.I.A. song you were majorly exposed to. If Bad Girls has a movie trailer feature it like Paper Planes did, it would have similar success.

Bad Girls is almost as good as Paper Planes, and that's hard.

It's not a big deal. People need to get over it.

Ridiculous.

MIA is a genius. The day after the Super Bowl, and EVERYONE is talking about her, while all but ignoring Madonna. And Bad Girls is soaring up the iTunes charts.
