M.I.A- Bad Girls Video

M.I.A's new video for "Bad Girls" sparkled with flashy Gulf cool. After wiping away some of that shine, the video just reveals orientalist stereotypes and muffled Arab voices, as so-called "third world" guru M.I.A raps about bling and the superficial meaning of being a 'bad girl' Arab-style.

M.I.A the 'terrorist' rap-artist is accused of new crimes against Arab humanity. But if anything, this 'Bad Girl' who loves to court censorship and controversy, should be applauded for her research into a sub-culture of Arabia that makes an extreme sport of driving. However, she may have inadvertently harmed the women's drive to claim their seat behind the wheel in Saudi Arabia.

Four Saudi Arabian female student were banned from attending their exams for “wearing tight skirts” on the school premises, the Emarati 24 News reported.
