My Way Killings

I'm not gonna write anything original today. Life isn't really inspiring when you're sitting in front of your computer the whole day, for days. But as usual, reversedkyanon is here to bring you all the interesting obscure facts from all around the world. What I'm about to paste are snippets from a wikipedia page on "My Way Killings". Why snippets? Cause I know you motherfuckers can't stand reading too much shit on the internet when you're diagnosed with ADD. Fuck you guys, seriously.

The "My Way" killings are a social phenomenon in the Philippines, where the killing of karaoke singers who get into disputes about their renditions of Frank Sinatra's signature tune, "My Way", has led some bars to ban the song and other singers to abstain from singing it. Opinions differ over whether the deadly pattern is due more to the coincidence that the song was frequently sung amid the violence of the nation's karaoke bars or to the aggressive lyrics of the song itself.

On May 29, 2007, a 29-year-old karaoke singer of "My Way" at a bar in San Mateo, Rizal, was shot dead as he sang the tune, allegedly by the bar's security guard, who was arrested after the incident. According to reports, the guard complained that the young man's rendition was off-key, and when the victim refused to stop singing, the guard pulled out a .38-caliber pistol and shot the man dead.

Some Filipinos, even those who love the song, won't sing it in public in order to avoid trouble.

look into my eyes... AND KILL THAT ANNOYING MOTHERFUCKER BESIDE YOU!

"Karaoke rage" is not just limited to "My Way" in the Philippines. "There have been several reported cases of singers being assaulted, shot or stabbed mid-performance, usually over how songs are sung,"

In Malaysia in 2008, a man at a coffee shop hogged the karaoke microphone so long he was stabbed to death by other patrons.

In Thailand, a man was arrested on charges that he shot to death eight neighbors, one of whom was his brother-in-law, in a dispute stemming from several karaoke offerings, including repeated renditions of John Denver's "Country Roads".

To a certain Wong Hii Kion, you better watch out next time when you go sing with us. Remember folks, alcoholic drinks can make friends enemies. But people who jump song queues and keep the mic for themselves will make friends MURDERERS!
