Metallica, Barney Help Make Uncooperative Iraqis Crack

 

NEW YORK -- Maybe a constant dose of Metallica is heaven for some, but in Iraq, it's making them crack.

 

Newsweek reports the U.S. military is exposing uncooperative Iraqis to long doses of heavy metal music. Sgt. Mark Hadsell said it breaks down their resistance through sleep deprivation and annoyance.

 

 

Why metal? Because it's culturally offensive.

 

Hadsell said these people haven't heard heavy metal before and they can't take it. His personal favorites include Metallica's "Enter Sandman" and "Bodies" by Drowning Pool.

 

Oh, and kids songs. His other two favorites to make the resistance crumble are 24 hours straight of Barney the purple dinosaur and the "Sesame Street" theme.

...that's just great! People should be allowed to send in requests.

Ok, first off, if you wanna scare people with music, why would you use Metallica? There's so many death/black/gore/etc bands that would work so much better for this task.

 

Secondly, I'm sure this isn't a new practice. I seem to recall reading that Slayer was once used for such a thing, though I can't recall the specifics. I'll go look into it, though.

 

EDIT: Thanks to Slayerized.com, I now know I didn't just make that up. However, they say that it's uncomfirmed, so take that for what you will.

This strategy was use to torture Noreaga in the 90s.

 

As for using Black/Gore/Death metal well that could end up as friendly fire! I don't think anybody but Jim Carey can listen to Cannibal Corpse 24/7.

Yes using any type of "death metal" would work a hundred times faster if these people are afraid of Metallica.

As well as the Branch Davidians in Waco, Texas.

 

But for those of us who remember the advertising blitz ramping up to SummerSlam 2001, this pretty much confirms what we thought all along.

Immolation should do the trick. I have about 100+ cds here that could prove usefull for the army.

Agoraphobic Nosebleed, maybe. or some Analcunt.

I'd find the Sesame Street theme infinitely more terrifying than any guttural vocals and blast beats.

Nothing would make me crack faster than having to listen to Barney theme for 24 hours straight.
