Wait, is it the regular Sesame Street theme or Smart E’s Sesame’s Treet? Not that it really makes any difference torture-wise…

Is there a petition that I could sign to have Metallica and AC/DC to not be played on radio here in the states?

@encyclopediablack: They didn't want to give Soulja Boy the opportunity to thank the U.S. military for spreading his music to Muslim audiences, thereby allowing him to purchase additional tats and chains.

I wonder why the military left “Crank Dat” off their playlist.

Anyone with a toddler knows how torturous that Sesame Street or Barney Theme can be on repeated listening. I promised my kid candy for a month just so he would turn it off.

1. I love Elbow
2. Being a flaming liberal, I find the use of torture inhumane and ghastly… but I could make an exception for the Joe Satriani vs. Coldplay case.

You're missing the best part! Drowning Pool are actually honored to be part of this:

"People assume we should be offended that somebody in the military thinks our song is annoying enough that played over and over it can psychologically break someone down," he told Spin magazine. "I take it as an honor to think that perhaps our song could be used to quell another 9/11 attack or something like that."
