Judge sentences offenders to listen to Barry Manilow

A US judge is punishing noise polluters by forcing them to listen to the likes of Barry Manilow.

Judge Paul Sacco, from Fort Lupton, Colorado, makes persistent noise nuisances listen to music they hate, reports the Daily Mirror.

He claims his method of making offenders sit in a room and listen to music they don't like for one hour has seen a massive drop in the number of repeat offenders in the small town.

"These people should have to listen to music they don't like," Mr Sacco told local news station KUSA-TV.

"Most kids don't want to hear somebody like Glenn Close trying to sing opera," he said.

Sacco brought in the punishment when he noticed that many of the repeat offenders simply showed up at his courtroom to pay their fine with cash.

in many countries torture of the most revolting cruelty happens routinely, without there being much publicity unless the perpetrators are some currently loathed regime, or unless some highly visible Westerner is among the victims
