Taking the position that M.I.A.’s middle finger is somehow more offensive than the cheerleading outfits of the NFL teams smacks of hypocrisy. The middle finger is more offensive than Kia’s Super Bowl ad featuring supermodel Adriana Lima. Telefora’s ad featuring Adriana Lima again, who delivers the infamous line, “Guys, Valentine’s Day is not that complicated. Give and he shall receive,” underscored by the sounds of moaning women in the background, is somehow not offensive. Um, OK. What about David Beckham’s H&M ad showing all that God gave him to such an extent that even he admits it was embarrassing? Somehow M.I.A. flipping the bird is worse than these ads.
