M.I.A.’s new music video for ‘Born Free’

This is the new M.I.A.video, for her song Born Free. (It's NSFW for graphic violence and nudity.) This video portrays a dystopian world where redheads are beaten and executed for being gingers. (but, GINGERS DO HAVE SOULS!!) Redheads are obviously supposed to represent historically oppressed peoples. A white American audience, is supposed to think: “Oh yeah, this isn't that far from the realities of real people across the globe.” added by: joshuaheller

Finally: The Flying Car

“The Defense Advanced Projects Agency (DARPA) has cleared the Transformer (TX) program for takeoff. If it flies, by 2015 U.S. soldiers will be able to ride into battle aboard a four-person flying car that can cruise in the air like an airplane, drive on the ground like an SUV, rove 250 miles on one tank of fuel and not require a runway to get airborne. DARPA, the Department of Defense office that is tasked with exploring futuristic technologies that may have military applications, held an industry day workshop for companies earlier this year to solicit proposals for developing a prototype vehicle. Proposals are due May 27. The Transformer will give troops the ability to avoid traditional and unconventional threats such as ambushes and Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) and road obstructions. DARPA envisions a variety of use-case scenarios for the TX, including strike and raid, interdiction, intervention, insurgency/counterinsurgency, reconnaissance, medical evacuation and logistics supply.” More at link! http://www.livescience.com/technology/DARPA-flying-car-warfare-100422.html added by: DeliaTheArtist
