Songs you could puke by.

[Jimbone]

When I was a teenager I was a, umm, temporary guest of the government in South Dakota, and they granted my request of a radio since I was in solitary confinement with my brother due to our age. The catch was, the radio was outside the bars and tuned to top forty so we couldn't change it, turn it off or turn it down. For ten solid days I heard "Spin Me Right Round" and "Love Shack" every 25 minutes for 16 hours a day. To this day hearing either triggers a fight or flight response and the urge to kill.

Brutal, at least they could have mixed in "Some Like it Hot" to really get the ears bleeding.

Old friend of mine is a state trooper, and they're form of that same type punishment was shorter lived. When they bring suspects to the barracks, they are only held there for less than a few hours usually. So when they'd get a particularly rowdy person, they secure them to the wall as required, then place:



juuuuuuust out of their reach, turn it on, and close the door. He said it usually wasn't more than a few minutes before they'd have a compliant and much calmer person.
