Noise Violators forced to listen to... Barry Manilow!

[echeck]

Fort Lupton Municipal Judge Paul Sacco says his novel punishment of forcing noise violators to listen to music they don't like for one hour has cut down on the number of repeat offenders in this northwestern Colorado prairie town.

Video of a recent class showed teenagers with long faces shifting in their seats or looking up at the ceiling.

"You can't fall asleep," said teenager Rueben Fuentes right before letting out a bit of a sigh.

I can't imagine a more horrible, yet suiting punishment!

I read this in the newspaper today - brilliant! Make the punishment fit the crime has always been my opinion.

Indeed, such a perfect punishment.

I thought that the US Supreme Court had ruled cruel and unusual punishment unconstitutional?

1 hour is far too short. They should make it 8 hours. That would really show them.

Barry totally falls under cruel and unusual.

I like it though, I really like it.

"That's right you damn hippies, you better turn down that music unless you want a visit from the Manilow!"

I seriously like this.

Well crap, I'd actually enjoy that.

Is this a variant of The Ludovico Technique?

I think the Barney songs would ultimately do me in.

"I love you, you love me, let's hang Bar-ney from a tree!"

Imagine Nixon saying that, good god, its hilarious

"Listen you little beat neck kids, you better turn off that rock n roll before I get all Manilow on your asses"

I always knew my mother was abusing me by always blaring the Manilow ***** in the 70s.

It's, "Revenge of the Mellow People" and about time too.

are you a Fanilo?

 

[MacNut]

There is much worse than Barry. How about Ashley Simpson for 8 hours straight.

 

[synth3tik]

I guess it would be worse if they had to look at him too.

How about Ashley Simpson for 8 hours straight.

Awesome, although I doubt I'd be able to last 8 hours without feeling completely.....drained.

The only person who would do that is Barry Manilow. You'd just throw him in jail.

 

[ezekielrage_99]

It could be worse they could be made to listen to Styx

 

[Gray-Wolf]

Everyone should have to listen to some mellow music every so often. It's therapeutic.

 

[Vivid.Inferno]

Leonard Cohen is much worse. He's so depressing!

 

[Gaelic2]

So what if the noise violators were blaring Barry Manilow?

They could get hours of Lawrence Welk!
