Rock as a Weapon - When the U.S. Army drubs an enemy with sound, it wants better speakers.

Didn't the Feds try similar tactics against David Koresh at Waco? I seem to remember that they'd somehow heard that he HATED Tibetan monastic chanting, so they blasted it at the compound 24/7 during the standoff...

[Nik Naym]

"I would play anything by Yoko Ono."

Um, no. I do believe that would be prohibited by the Geneva Conventions treaties. I just KNOW it has to be in there somewhere!

[blu]

"It's a Small World" over and over and over. I know, it could be considered a war crime and may be worse than panties on the head...shudder!

[endthematrix]

They played Nancy Sanatra's These boots are made for walking

"And you keep thinking that you'll never get burnt

Well, I've just found me a brand new box of matches "

[Mr. Jazzy]

Yoko Ono!?!


You might as well stick panties on the head of everyone in the village.

At least THAT would be more humane than using Yoko Ono as a weapon of torture.

[Straight Vermonter]

Um, no. I do believe that would be prohibited by the Geneva Conventions treaties. I just KNOW it has to be in there somewhere!

It sure is, right in article 13.

ARTICLE 13
Prisoners of war must at all times be humanely treated. Any unlawful act or omission by the Detaining Power causing death or seriously endangering the health of a prisoner of war in its custody is prohibited, and will be regarded as a serious breach of the present Convention. In particular, no prisoner of war may be subjected to physical mutilation or to medical or scientific experiments of any kind which are not justified by the medical, dental or hospital treatment of the prisoner concerned and carried out in his interest.

Likewise, prisoners of war must at all times be protected, particularly against acts of violence or intimidation and against insults and public curiosity.

The use of Yoko Ono's music for any means would be a severe violation of this convention.

Measures of reprisal against prisoners of war are prohibited.

[Red Sea Swimmer]

They could make the protestors read Yoko Ono's books of verse. That as well as the music tracks will drive the protestors completely insane.

[Red Sea Swimmer]

They could play some Rotterdam Death Techno at 150 BPM. Twenty minutes of that will drive anyone off the deep end.

[SAJ]

C'mon, now...if torture is the goal...then you absolutely must insert tracks of Debbie Boone's ''You Light Up My Life'', and Manilow's -- well, practically anything, but especially ''Copacabana'', McDonald's jingles, and ''I Write The Songs''. ''Disco Duck'' should probably be included, too.

Alternate 2-hour tapes/whatever of this stuff w/2-hour tapes/whatever of Eminem/NWA/50cent/etcandwhocares, and SOMEbody will crack, straightaway.

[ScuzzyTerminator]

PUBERTY LOVE

[A CA Guy]

Play some Ozzy and let them shake in their sandles.

[Paul Atreides]

"It's a Small World" over and over and over.

"Tomorrow," from the musical Annie.

[Red Sea Swimmer]

I beg to differ. "Disco Duck" had some redeeming qualities.

[hineybona]

I'd play endless cds of laugh tracks..They wouldn't know what the hell was goin gon ..Eventually they would come out of their hole to see and....BANG !

[SAJ]

Oh, sure. No problem, no disagreement.

However, if included on an extended-play list, I daresay it would become torturous RIGHT quickly.

Wouldn't you agree? (g!)

[Red Sea Swimmer]

When you play "Disco Duck" backwards, the words "The Disney Empire is Satanic" can be heard.

Quack...Quack...

[fso301]

I think the psy-ops groups are making a major mistake. Rather than playing heavy metal and rap, they should play Barry Manilow.

[MarineBrat]

There was a link to Ozzy Osborn singing "Take me out to the ballgame" here a while back. It'd be like the nuclear option, but maybe not as bad as Yoko!

[Always Independent]

Bill and Hillary singing I GOT YOU BABE!

[Allegra]

ROFL! Perfect!

I love that movie...
