This would probably work on most adults, nevermind teenagers. I know I'd behave if threatened with such harsh punishment.
LOCAL government authorities are considering a Sydney council's "Manilow method" for dispersing unruly teenagers as an option for tackling anti-social behaviour in Britain.
Campaigners this week called for a ban on a device in use across the UK known as The Mosquito, which emits a high-pitched tone audible only to the young.
Local Government Association (LGA) head of news Richard Stokoe said his organisation was examining an alternative, introduced by Rockdale Council in 2006.
The council, in Sydney's southern suburbs, played Barry Manilow tunes over loudspeakers to stop youths hanging around.
"We were looking at how we can replace one high-pitched, weedily noise with another high-pitched weedily noise and we came up with Barry Manilow," Mr Stokoe said.
If that doesn't work, may I suggest some Barbra Streisand (photos may work as well) and a shrill speech from Mrs. Clinton.
This would probably work on most adults, nevermind teenagers. I know I'd behave if threatened with such harsh punishment.
