This just in and I just HAD to share it.
From Yahoo:
A US judge has been hailing his "horrible punishment" for youngsters who continually play their music too loud.
Judge Paul Sacco, in Fort Lupton, Colorado, makes teen noise polluters sit in a locked room and listen to the Barry Manilow hit Copacabana for a whole hour at full volume.
They are also made to sit through records by Dolly Parton, Karen Carpenter and, er, Barney the Dinosaur.
Judge Sacco says it has helped cut the number of repeat offenders in the town.
He said: "When you have a person playing rap at extreme volumes all over the city, and they have to sit down and listen for an hour to Barry Manilow, it's horrible punishment."
Teenager Reuben Fuentes said: "You can't fall asleep."
It's not November Fools' Day, is it?
I don't know who judges the judges, but I do know that he/she has been sulking.
In other news, teenagers are going on killing sprees all over Colorado. You can't blame them. You know you'd do the same if you had to listen to Copacabana for a straight hour at full volume.

why'd I even push play on the video? gawd
and in a further attempt to punish myself i just did an image search on Barry Manilow and came across this strange shot....which i must share
ahaha RUN AWAY!
For the posting of that horrible picture, you, Will American, are sentenced to wear a Barney, the Dinosaur, outfit, sing Cobacabana, record the performance, and post the video in MOG.com.
how bout I post a pantsless shot of me holding up some kind of 8 ft. sea creature instead?
lordy...that is a bad one, i'm sorry to make you look at that...you did make me listen to the Barney song though
No fair, you pushed play...I had no choice but to look at it! I hope that no 8 ft. sea creatures were harmed during the taking of that picture.
I'll settle for that shot, but do make sure that, just like in the one you posted, what looks like the sea creature's genitalia is right in front of yours.
of course
to the trained eye...
without that alignment, there is no shot....know what i mean?
LALALAcan'thearyouLALALA
I never thought I'd be talking about one-eyed sea creatures today. Or any other day, for that matter.
you know...that last comment came off a lot dirtier than i intended hahah
well i'm off to work...try not to have any Manilow related nightmares tonight
ciao Greek
I'd love to drive through that town bumping Copacabana
Good thing there may be 20 thousand people in Fort Lupton, tops. This is no suburb of Denver, just a speck of a city about 150 miles northeast of there.
I might be able to survive an hour of Manilow if it was different songs, but one hour of Copacabana and all bets are off.
I'm so thoroughly disturbed by the Manilow picture it's not funny. I will never be able to un-see that.
I just saw this on the news, they did not look like they were enjoying themselves in the slightest, and I can't say that I blame them. Um, well now I just scrolled up and-DAMN that's big fish. A bigger fish than Lilly Allen, no small feat I hear. hahahahaha. At the Copa, Copacabana!!!!!!!!
a priceless post anna. the judge is creative. your rebuttal pounds a nail into the funny bone, and as a parent who lived through the phenomenon, Barney, horrid as he is, brings back memories of times with a lot less trouble. thanks!
and, Lyrik, we've been laughing over that pic for 15 minutes now............................................
No, No ….not Barney …..
This has been used in several different outlets before hand by the in-office Administration. Classical music has also been used, apparently teens don't like it.
Also, to be a one fell swoop thing, the most disappointing album was the new Wolf Parade. I guess. I'd rather just really like TV on the Radio and Why?
Will, well, I hope you're pleased now that you disturbed everybody with that picture.
Greg, ahahhaha they'll think you're working for the crazy judge...
Dale, but what will happen if those people travel? Relocate? The consequences can affect us all, run, brother, run!
I knew I should have blocked Will ages ago...
Callisto, you actually saw the victims of this insanity! Not fair, I want to see, too!
You know that fish can only be found in Copacabana...thank god.
Aw, thank you very much, Scot. I think I should become a judge myself, and go to that town to put my insanity into good use ;P
I only met Barney some time ago...one more adulthood trauma, I guess :)
You're welcome!
Phantom, YES, Barney....you know you like it ;)
Heya Heath, how are ya?!
It's just ridiculously insane, or insanely ridiculous, if you prefer.
Haven't heard the new Wolf Parade, but I've heard others agree with you on that one.
Fun stuff, Anna..
Ok, so this is turning into the thread of delightful awfulness..I belong to a Bad music group over at the darkside and someone once posted this album:
Sparkee -From My Heart To Yours..Country Style
The uploader claimed it was the worst album ever.
Sparkee describes it this way:
My husband and I are currently traveling across the western states introducing my album, which I have pulled together at this stage of my life - I am a doting grandmother of seven awesome grandchildren! Anyway, I've been writing songs for over 20 years and feel it's important for my sons - four of them - to know that you never give up on a dream. Work until you make it happen. And that is just what we are out doing. If you're interested in sending me a few words of encouragement you can do so thru my e-mail: sparkee1944@yahoo.com! Hope you like the sounds of my songs and the feelings they bring to your heart as well as the memories we can share thru music.
Then there's these guys
Would I love this gig..that is aurally torturing noise offenders..Oh yeah..and I've got ammo.
I saw this on the news! They also said that if too many teens like a song, its taken off the playlist :P
and regarding the new wolf parade, its not horrible, but it doesn't come close to Apologies to the Queen Mary.
