Are you angling to face UN sanctions? That's cruel and unusual!

It's hardly unusual. Anyone can die from it, the music's horrible enough.

Cruel and unusual punishment: Torture, deliberately degrading punishment, and/or punishment far too severe for the crime committed.

I believe your suggestion fits all three of those attributes.

The punishment fits the crime. If someone willingly listens to it or forces others to, I see no problem with killing them with their own malicious weapons.

This is a wonderful Christmas discussion we're having. Should the Ban Santa thread be upgraded into the Kill Santa thread?

Some people won't be happy until everything is in flames, so it was inevitable for that thread to evolve thusly.

From the sounds of it, the OP doesn't believe Santa is real. Therefore a motion to kill Santa would break down the OP's argument.
