The discussion of M.I.A.'s musical talent and politics in the same post has prompted me draft the following rule, which should be applied hearby and henceforth, forevermore and in perpetuity on all internet forums and invoked freely whenever the circumstances so require:

All discussions of musical taste, talent and proclivity shall be consider over upon the mention by any individual participating therein of M.I.A.

This rule is a corollary to Godwin's Law. The intent of the rule is not to suggest that M.I.A. is either bad or good, rather, it is to point out that most musical discussions are ridiculous to begin with since musical tastes are entirely subjective, and while they may start out on a positive note (ba dum bum), the discussions eventually degrade to the point where they become pointless band-name-dropping which serves no purpose other than to stroke the ego of the band-name-dropper or to prompt a post from Str8 declaring his affinity for whatever band is in question based on his having met one of its members for dinner two years ago.

Accordingly, I think the mention of M.I.A. is a good place at which such discussions should end, though I am willing to amend this rule and insert a different band/singer/whatever in place of M.I.A.
I have read your rule three times and it makes no fucking sense to me. But I like it. It has a nice absurdist bent to it. Like you are just putting words that you like together in no particular order. In a mellow summer afternoon in the office sort of way, it works.
