Karaoke kills
Karaoke on Missiles - North Korea, originally uploaded by Eric Lafforgue.
As a karaoke enthusiast myself, I know how annoying it can be. A particularly bad song is enough to ruin the evening, if only for the 3:38 it takes to get through "I Will Survive." Nevertheless, you have to be a real nut to allow karaoke to drive you to kill. Like this guy:
A gunman in Thailand shot-dead eight neighbours, including his brother-in-law, after tiring of their karaoke versions of popular songs, including John Denver’s Country Roads.
Weenus Chumkamnerd, 52, put his gun to the head of a respected female doctor and seven of her guests as they partied at her home in Songkhla Province, South Thailand.
"When I began shooting nobody pleaded for his life because they were all drunk," he said after his arrest.
He said he was so furious with their awful singing that he did not notice he had murdered his own brother-in-law.
"I warned these people about their noisy karaoke parties. I said if they carried on I would go down and shoot them. I had told them if I couldn’t talk sense into them I would come back and finish them off," he added.
Jesus, dude! Get some ear muffs.
