Yes - if anyone will destroy capitalism it is surely the one whose mother routinely poses for high fashion ads, licenses her music for first world luxury items like videogames, creates a line of $75 t-shirts and then bangs billiionaires.

But at the very least, we have a new line of Dayglo onesies to look forward to.

Congrats M.I.A.!! I really like you and all, but enough with the Caps Lock. It's like cruise control for the illiterate.

And Leonard, that doesn't make any sense...AT ALL!

She must have had mad heartburn during her pregnancy. I just had a baby 6 weeks ago who also had a lot of hair (but not as much as junior up there) and my OB was like, "oh. well that explains why you wouldn't shut the hell up about your acid-reflux."

Leonard meant the baby will destroy CAPITAL-ism by learning to use both lower and upper case letters.

Let the 'Case Wars' begin!
