Weapons of mass dispersion

I thought this was funny. According to the AP, a Sydney (Australia) suburb has started blasting Barry Manilow music to disperse late-night loiterers. Apparently, it's working, but it's also angering local residents who can't easily escape this cruel and inhumane treatment.

"I don't know how I will cope," said Moya Dunn, describing how the songs have invaded her house. "I just can't sleep when it's on, and to think there's going to be another six months of this."

Who knew that Barry Manilow had such power to move people? Who needs missiles and guns? Unleash a heaping helping of Manilow and watch the enemy crumble. Have the Middle East power brokers considered this as part of their defense strategies? Just attach some king-sized speakers to a couple of drones and fly them around for hours on end. Such a relentless attack would bring any enemy to his knees.

I do know one thing. The Manilow weapon has not been employed at Gitmo as a means of "breaking" detainees. If so, word would've gotten out and the ACLU would've seized on such barbaric treatment.

The horror...the horror!
