I realize this is serious, but still...

Other karaoke massacres have taken place in the Philippines, where the Frank Sinatra song "My Way" has had to be removed from many songbooks after sub-standard renditions provoked a string of killings.

In Thailand, meanwhile, a man shot eight of his neighbours, including his brother-in-law, after tiring of their tuneless reprisals of John Denver's "Country Roads".

In the United States, a woman punched a man for continuing to sing Coldplay's "Yellow" after she had told him he was not up to the task.
...:rofl:

i would have killed him, if there were no consequences

Wow, the karaoke stakes are impossibly high over there. Here the worst you have to fear is some drunken idiot trying to get on stage with you for a duet.

I think the right side is Richard Dawkins. I've been wondering who the woman on the left is though.

I'm desperately hoping that it is also Richard Dawkins.

My wife was telling me about this last night. This woman should be stripped of all her wealth and property, be forced to live in a leaky shack and work in a coal mine for $2 a day. Assuming she can fit through the entrance of the mine of course.
