[Videos] Rihanna "Rude Boy" VS. M.I.A. "Boyz"

So the internet is ALL in a tizzy with the backlash that video director Melina is receiving concerning her latest work, Rihanna’s “Rude Boy” and its STRIKINGLY resemblance to M.I.A.’s video for her single “Boyz”. Yes they are QUITE similar, however who hasn’t done something without the influence of another persons work? Both videos are awesome and personally I don’t see what the big deal is. No one is going to compare Rihanna to M.I.A., it’s OIL and VINEGAR. Anyway, you guys watch both videos and formulate your own opinions.
