This reminds me of the female rapper a few years ago who parodied Slim Shady's song with the lyrics, 'Will the real Slim Shady please shut up, please shut up, please shut up.' I think she was made famous by Christina Aguilera and Britney who wanted to get back at Eminem. Unfortunately, in this case, it is unlikely that DeLon will be heard outside of his Sri Lankan market segment, in the diaspora and at home (10,130 hits on Youtube at the moment). Good effort with the video though - I like the use of visual elements. The severed head of the suicide bomber was a tasteful touch.
Equating M.I.A. with the LTTE is propaganda of the same breed as M.I.A's own. This video was begging to be made though and is a strong reply. If nothing else, it highlights the hypocrisy of M.I.A. by complaining about people equating Tigers with Tamil civilians and then displaying images of Tigers all over her advertising and music videos.

Interesting, to say the least.
