OBAMA WHERE ARE YOU?

sorry, couldn't help it.

That all looks pretty good except for the performance by MIA

I'd hit dat terrorist thang.

i heard her slum lord in bed stuy raised her rent.

makes 40 bucks seem like a bargain

id love to see the pretentious fucks who go to this. Jokes on them for spending that kind of cash- donate to starving people before museums douches.

Is the cost tax-deductible? If you are in the 28 or 35 tax bracket, the cost is not that high. Still expensive, but you get to see a performer in a small venue.

broski, i'm sure you can be called a douche for a lot of the money you spend that you always have the option to give to starving people. The fact that you or I don't have that kind of money, does not mean it's an amount that should not be given to a museum.

let's be real, i think the burmese cyclone victims could use this money more than MoMA.

Is MIA performing at the afterdinner dance or at the dinner? My friends and I are hoping to get $250 tickets for the dance party and see MIA.

sure the Burmese could use it..

but the military junta that runs the place has the final say.

sure the people in new orleans could use it..

but the military junta that runs the U.S. has the final say.

there are many venues to donate money to that are NOT filtering money through the government. uscampaignforburma.org is one of them, you can also donate through unicef.

MIA sure loves that income! Didn't I see her doing modeling for some magazine ad! Truely gangsta!
She follows the standard recipe for rap so well...

1. Where you grew up
2. Flocabulary
3. Makin money

"sure the people in new orleans could use it..
but the military junta that runs the U.S. has the final say."

wo ho ho! ZING!

Does the $250 ticket include the M.I.A. performance? That's a hot ticket, so up close and personal.

I wish MIA would just go away already, blecch

hey, m.i.a -

andy warhol called and wants his fifteen minutes back.

go get yourself an education...

I was just thinking of getting tickets to see Santogold since it's the same thing only cheaper. Right?

unless you're going out into the street and handing out that money to the needy, most of your donation will disappear down some deep pockets.

i agree that the poor need aid, but museums need donations too. shame on you for trying to lord it over someone who chooses to donate to the latter, douche 1:37.

oh, and douche 2:32 - if you think we're in a military state here, why don't you go live in iran or north korea or like half of africa's countries, if you don't know any better. i'm sure you'll be much happier with the quality of life and freedom of speech over there.

............................that's the sound of mia's street cred going down the drain.

Yeah, 1:37! You live in America, where you're not allowed freedom of speech without some self-righteous prig jumpin' down your throat! So shut up and LOVE AMERIKKKA! It's perfect and it is illegal to say anything bad in a public forum about this country!

There you go, Mid Fingg! Finally we recognize that America is the worst country in the world, and white people are keeping everyone down, and anyone breaking $50K is to blame for third world plight! Now pass the fries.

SHOW US YOUR TITS!!

sigh...this would have never happened if she would have had access to the obama phone.

ring ring ring ring ring ring ring obama phone

wtf to all of you. die.

Dafty Punkers to the rescue!!!

The sooner people realize our government is only a shade less corrupt than the governments of Third World countries....

Oh, wait, what am I saying? The majority of Amerikka doesn't give a FUCK about anything other than themselves! Even when gas hits $10 a gallon, Amerikkkans won't give a fuckin' shit other than to moan and bitch and then hand over their fuckin' credit cards and pay. Easier than helping neighbors in need....

M.I.A.--who gives a fuckin' shit? If some dipshit wants to pay $1000 to see her for 45 minutes, that's their right. God bless Amerikkka.

I believe "developing countries" is the preferred nomenclature, brochette.

Donating money to things is not a zero-sum game. If someone wants to donate $5000 to MOMA it doesn't mean its stopping them from doing the same for a tragedy.

Is today a holiday or something? Seems like all the little kiddies are posting nonsense.

new orleans can go flush itself down the Gulf

Anyone else tired of the MIA thing? It was cool for about five months, but boy has it gotten tired.

hey 4:06, go fuck yourself. you fucking republican. just another one of those assholes who says shit like "love it or leave it." you fucking redneck.

Is anyone else having problems getting tickets? Is it sold out? I keep getting "not able to provide tickets" error.

6:15-> as somebody who has been born and raised in new orleans, one of the most creative and vibrant cultures in america, it's disheartening to hear someone say that my family and i should be "flushed down the gulf" as if we were waste in some figurative toilet bowl. just think about the thousands of people that died, children who lost their moms, people who lost their homes and businesses. we are working hard every day here to come back, i'm a physician who works double shifts and moonlights every night almost to compensate for the paucity of doctors and nurses. not to mention the music that comes out of new orleans is some of the most original and powerful stuff around...this is a music forum after all...ask anyone who has been to jazz fest. there's alot of sharp children here, many of them musicians and artists. maybe you should think again before you wish one of the most unique cities in our country be erased from the map.

10:46 - so anyone who actually likes living here is a redneck? hey, didn't you say you'd leave four years ago, like to france where you can smoke sean penn's cock? you don't have to be a republican to enjoy your job, car, and being able to see all the indie rock you want - and to know that you wouldn't have all of that in a "military state."

12:12 - ever seen one of those bumper stickers that say "New Orleans: Proud To Call It Hell"?
there's a reason for that.

I also am having problems getting tickets. I wanted to see if I get any errors selecting higher price tickets, but I am afraid of getting charged. Did anyone get thru?

Just received this email notification...

"M.I.A.'s 15 minutes of fame have officially expired, therefore the Museum of Modern Art will regretfully be cancelling her Tuesday, June 10th engagement at our Garden Benefit Gala. All tickets will be refunded at point of purchase. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused."
