U.S. Judge Sentences Noisy Offenders to Barry Manilow
Quote:
|
A U.S. judge has hailed as a success a new form of punishment for people who go to court for being too noisy -- an hour of listening to Barry Manilow or the theme tune from the children's TV show "Barney and Friends."

As punishments go, it's certainly unusual. I can think of a certain neighbor that I'd like to subject to the Manilow Treatment...

I've seen Barry in concert. Mom is a huge fan, so that wouldn't really be punishment for me. Barney would be horrible! I can't stand that show!

At the Copa Copacabana, the hottest spot north of Havana.
Oh Mandy, but you came and you gave without taking, but I sent you away oh Mandy!
I like Manilow, they can sentence me to an hour of his music any time!

Be proud, sister! I can't say I own any Manilow, but I'm pretty sure I'd stop if he were on as I was flipping stations in the car, if only because his songs make me laugh with their perfect cheesiness. They're the audio equivalent of the Rotel and Velveeta dip. People are not usually going to talk about liking it, and yet, if you serve it, it gets consumed.

The Manilow "classics" aren't at all too bad.
It's when he tries to cover other peoples' music and Christmas favorites that make me go insane.

According to the article, the judge says that people must listen to music they don't like. I would guess that an offender who happens to like Barry Manilow would have to listen to something else.
