Robert Pattinson at HecklerspraySuddenly we’re feeling a kinship towards Robert Pattinson.

Yes, in the past we may have been irritated by his hair and face and ubiquity and the way his American accent makes him twalk a bwit like a robot Christopher Walken – but now he’s said that he doesn’t understand the Twilight saga, we’re all “Hey Robert Pattinson, wanna shoot some hoops after school?”

YouTube has removed the video for MIA’s new single, “Born Free”, for being too violent. The verité-style nine-minute film bleakly depicts sinister US forces hunting down people with red hair, driving them out to the desert, then executing them in various unpleasant ways.

It’s NSFW (depending on who you W with, I suppose) and features – in addition to the violence – some deeply unattractive naked people.

It may also be a little upsetting for people who don’t enjoy watching children being shot in the head.
