If you haven’t heard:

M.I.A. is mad at MTV. Just recently, she wrote a MySpace blog rant, one that’s since been taken down, about how the MTV-edit version of her “Paper Planes” video has fallen victim to the channel’s standards-and-practices department. The gunshot noises on the track’s hook are gone, replaced with, in her words, “this fucked up mess with double-tracked bullshit mess.” Something similar happened when she did the song on the David Letterman show, except there the gunshot noises got changed to some weird pitch-shifted clicks that sort of sound like the gunshot noises that come from those little wartime-noisemaker toys that I drove my parents nuts with when I was nine.
