Hmph. That reminds me of an issue of Captain Marvel where the main character tortures an alien woman into submission by playing Korn . . . but forcing someone to listen to Barney? Doesn't that violate the Geneva Convention or something?

OMG!!!! My life is torture!!!!!!!
When I'm in my minivan by myself, the custom stereo system cranks Metalica and more.
When the kids are in the van with me, it's nothing but Sesame Street, Disney theme songs and the like.
Maybe I should take these guys for a ride in my minivan for a few days.

Having to listen to Metallica or any other heavy-metal music would normally be cruel and unusual punishment. However, since it's the Saddam's Iraqis, it's not so cruel or unusual after all.

I consider it a blessing that my children were older when Barney came on the scene. I'm afraid that perhaps both my son and myself were permanently "scared" by Barney !! The exwife was cruel in subtle ways!! :^ )

When my dad worked at Radio Shack in the 1980s, from Thanksgiving to New Year's they were forced to play a 'cheery Christmas song' which consisted mainly of cute widdle kids lisping "Chwistmas is here" over and over and over.
