Is this judge clever?  email this discussion to a friend?

A Judge in Colorado has a unique way to punish young people who play their music too loudly in public and violate the city's noise ordinance - he sentences them to one hour of listening to music they hate played at a high volume. Offenders are forced to listen to Barry Manilow, Karen Carpenter and Barney songs. He says they rarely get a repeat offender.

I think this is a clever solution. There are lots of people who like the above music but for young kids who would rather listen to Beyonce or rap or other current popular music, this must be deadly for them. It's so much better than paying a fine or going to jail because they learn what it is like for others when they play their music so loud around people who don't care for their music. The punishment fits the crime and maybe they learn a little consideration.

What do you think? Is an hour of listening to Barney unusual punishment or just right for the offense?

I think it is a good way to punish them.

AN hour of listening to someone else's music is not enough of a punishment and if I recall, that was a punishment on judging amy - but the perp had to listen to show tunes.

I myself would just go to sleep or block it out. The loss of time would be more of a punishment.

Maybe the judge stole the idea from TV. I guess it depends on how much you hate the music and if you got one of the songs stuck in your head, the punishment could go on all day!
I guess he wanted to avoid punishment that involved something worse than the crime itself. But the loss of the hour would be something that is punishment, especially if you have to take time off work for it and lose pay.

As teens, my cousins and I weren't what you would call loud music players for the most part (or we didn't think so, anyway), but, if we had been, what the judge might have come up with back then would have been hell for my cousins but would put me into hog heaven: Lawrence Welk.

One of them would have especially been squirming, because she absolutely couldn't stand to have the TV tuned to Lawrence Welk for even a split second.

My own tastes in music ran in favor of just about anything from Pop/Rock to Country to Classical to Big Band to Dixieland Jazz to Easy Listening, so the judge would have had to have designed another kind of punishment for me--such as busting up all of my Beatles records.
