Glad to see they didn’t use “It’s a Small World” or “This Is the Song That Doesn’t End”. That really would have been torture!

So, is this their way of admitting that their music is so awful that forcing a person to listen to it amounts to torture?

Heh.

That Barney song . . . after a few hours I’d be selling out my own mother, and telling them that her “meatballs” are really stealth grenades.

Well, that’s depressing. True but depressing.

It always gives me pause to wonder, how on earth did we come to this?

Responsible people got tired of being the grown-ups and setting limits on idiotic children who happened to be over the age of 18. It became exhausting to say “Because I said so.” and continually hear the whine “That’s not fair!”. Everything became open to negotiation and interpretation. The pop-psychology nonsense accelerated the process and the results of these mistakes are now able to vote themselves evermore freebies. Until the producers get fed up and it all collapses like a California budget-cutting meeting.

Our society is becoming a scam-culture and unless the people who actually contribute take back control, only scammers will come out ahead. There is always somebody ready to explain why a person’s shortfall is not their fault and you should pay to overcome it. Now, the government appears ready to enforce that view.

Listening to Rage Against the Machine at any volume greater than 1 for any period of time longer than 1 second is torture.

I used to ~~tell~~ holler at the boys when they were teenagers the very same thing! It’s a miracle I lived to tell.

Stashiu3, this is more of the inconsistent idiocy that permeates our lives these days. It always gives me pause to wonder, how on earth did we come to this?

Carlitos – Just that excerpt was quite amusing. I assume it only got better from there?

Standards and definitions mean what they want them to mean and are dependent on the situation. If detainees complained that they were not allowed to listen to bad music at loud levels, that would be criticized as well. Not being allowed a second cup of coffee after breakfast was over elicited accusations of torture. Seriously.
