M.I.A. asks for Oprah's help

Sri Lankan music diva, M.I.A. earned a spot on this year's TIME 100 list of the most influential people on earth.  This is quite impressive considering Oprah Winfrey also made this list. 

These two really influential people met at the TIME 100 gala last Tuesday to talk about some serious issues.  M.I.A. feels like they made a real connection.  According to Pitchfork, She is asking Oprah to do something about the civil wars that are going on in Sri Lanka.  

M.I.A. wrote in her MySpace blog, "OPRAH CAN YOU DO SOMETHING BOUT THESE CAMPS PLEEEEEEASE!"  

It is crazy to think that renegade global musician M.I.A. would be working hand in hand with the Queen of America, Oprah.  To find out more about this civil war against the Tamils in Sri Lanka, check out this article from Channel 4 news.
