In 1989, the US Government tortured Manuel Noriega with loud rock music. Too bad Rebecca Black didn't come along until 2011
The whole thing could have been over in an hour.
Exactly. So, while Doing Extensive Research on today's topic, I learned something adorably hilarious. The US military operation designed to capture Manuel Noriega was called "Operation Nifty Package." That's awesome.
Anyway, after destroying Noriega's means of escape, US special forces tracked him to the Apostolic Nunciature in Panama and proceeded to use psychological warfare in order to get him to come out. This involved playing Guns n' Roses' song "Welcome to the Jungle" repeatedly. While that song is certainly of questionable taste, I submit that a song of much more universal crapitude would have done the trick more quickly. Fortunately for Noriega, Rebecca Black wouldn't be born for another 7 years, and her smash hit "Friday" wouldn't be unleashed upon the world for another 14.
True story, today's Sametime Status was written BEFORE the news broke earlier today that "Friday" has been removed from Youtube over a contract dispute between Black and the music sweatshop that produced the video.
