If the U.S. Army did this, the leftoids would be screaming "war crime!"

It is is a good thing that war is so terrible, err we would love it so:

It could be magic for some, but the use of loud Barry Manilow music to drive away late-night revelers from a suburban Sydney park is getting on the nerves of nearby residents.

In a move reminiscent of U.S. efforts to drive former Panama strongman Manuel Noriega from the Vatican Embassy where he took refuge in 1989, the local council in Rockdale, in Sydney's southern suburbs, started a six-month trial of high-volume hits by Manilow and Doris Day to chase away car enthusiasts who were gathering on weekend nights at Cook Park Reserve.

"Barry's our secret weapon," Rockdale Deputy Mayor Bill Saravinovski told The Daily Telegraph newspaper, four weeks after the start of the effort. "It seems to be working."

But some people living near the park are less than enthralled. They say the barrage of "Copacabana," "Could It Be Magic" and "Que Sera Sera," blasting from 9 p.m. to midnight every Friday, Saturday and Sunday is driving them crazy.

"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."

The irony is that it's disrupting a bunch of The Fast and the Furious wannabes.

Now, if the Australian government truly wanted to double down their bet and make sure the young punks would never want to get near a car again, they'd use this:

This, of course, would accomplish the goal with certain unintended side effects:

Not only would it drive away the young bloods, it would sterilize all stray dogs for kilometers.

So it's got the Bob Barker seal of approval to boot!
