M.I.A. "Born Free" Video: Gingers Attacked by the U.S. Government. Could This Be an Arizona Allegory?

M.I.A. probably didn't plan to release her new video -- which graphically shows the U.S. government violently kidnapping and assaulting redheads, then taking them out to the desert to kill them -- as a commentary on Arizona's incredibly controversial SB 1070.Then again... Hmmmm.Kinda makes ya think, huh?...
