The Guardian reports that a council in Australia is piping out Barry Manilow music throughout a carpark in order to disperse the hoons that hang around there revving up their cars and listening to their 'doof doof' music. A local councillor said:
"Based on reports ... daggy [uncool] music is one way to make the hoons leave an area because they can't stand the music," Mr Saravinovski said. "We're hoping it works. These people don't show any respect for the law.
I think it's an excellent idea although not sure how it would work in say the UK where there seem to be dodgy gangs of youths hanging around on every street corner. Everyone would be barraged with a stream of Celine Dion, Aqua, Status Quo and Westlife. I think I'd rather have violent street crime to be honest.
