Awesome video - "Born Free"

No, not the schmaltzy Seventies film with the lions. This is the one by the rapper M.I.A. with the red haired people being rounded up and taken somewhere to be killed. The video that caused Matthew Wright on five TV's "The Wright Stuff" to start screaming and flailing and jumping up and down in the TV studio the other day.

Be aware that it is not safe for work. At all. And no, I'm not going to list the ways it is NSFW. You have been told it's too rough for overly-sensitive bosses, so if you continue to press play whilst at work you're the one asking for it.

All other considerations of taste aside, however, now, in the sure knowledge that it will flay an otherwise unprepared mind, play on.

Seriously, what else would I need in my library?* :)
