Just seen on Have I Got News for You.

Room full of yoof being forced to listen to Copa Cabana for commiting noise offences. Brilliant!

Yeah, I saw this, too....

Lookin' at the kids who were being sentenced to listen to Barry Manilow I was thinkin', "These kids would be just as repulsed by most folks musicans, as well..."

***grin***

Make 'em sit through a 72 verse Child ballad or two - they'll either get a taste for it or be quiet for life.

Her name was L-o-o-o-la,
She was a sh-o-o-o-w-girl;
But that was fifty years ago,
When they used to have a show....


Uh, sorry...

I thought it was fairly appropriate punishment, and the "criminals" shown in the local TV news report seemed to be bearing up well enough to Barry Manilow, even though obviously not enjoying their penance time; but then they went to cruel and unusual punishment by inserting "The Barney Theme."

That was really a bit too much, IMO.

Really sorry

Stu!!!!

that was diabolical... how could you do that to a newbie mudcatter?

My god, my shoulders are so hunched up in horror they are almost crammed into my ears.

I need a purge. Going to listen to Ramskyte Dark December now and hope it heals me.

in a similar vein, areas where hoodies congregate have been flooded with classical music in UK experiments. It works - but for how long I am not sure. Yoof is, by it's nature, somewhat perverse.
