Best line of this clip is Romain Gavras saying,
The idea was to compile Arabic references–fantasized or not–into a pop video. Pop videos usually show American kids in their element.

M.I.A. is that chick from Sri Lanka who sang the song “Paper Planes”. Apparently, she’s still making music. The video for her new song “Bad Girls” is so good that it could bring peace to the Middle East.
Show this to Ahmadinejad or Assad and they’ll finally understand the virtures of western society.
Directed by Romain Gavras who also did her video for “Born Free” – a disturbing expose of violence against gingers.
