Oklahoma jail officials bullied inmates by forcing them to listen to 'Baby Shark' song: report
11The prisoners were forced to stand for the duration of this sonic onslaught with their hands cuffed and fastened to a wall, the investigation reportedly discovered.
“As a life-long resident of Oklahoma, and a former Department of Corrections sub-contractor, I disavow any knowledge of this heinous act and hope the bad guys learned their lesson” said @TheRealJRN when asked about the incident.

Well. I think I know where @Barney works.
@RiotDemon I have you know that I saw this article earlier and I decided not to subject you to the song.
HOWEVER – After that remark, here you go:

@Barney @RiotDemon Thank you for posting it, I’ve never heard this song before.
The music is obnoxious, but possibly educational for inmates to learn genealogy…
@Barney @daveinwarsh @RiotDemon
Here’s the 10-hour extended version.

Seriously?
@ybmuG
Listen…people…even “normal” folks…really, really, really hate that song.
LOL I had to read that felony part again when I first saw it!
@ybmuG
That’s what I thought to, I thought it was hilarious. But rights advocates people take their jobs seriously.
I think we need to start a GoFundMe so these officers can mount a proper defense.
I’ll take care of all the details, you people can just send cash please.
@therealjrn The taxpayers of Oklahoma are already getting soaked enough by the union baking their grift into the contract. They don’t need a gofundme. They can sell off some of the war machinery, APVs, and Suburban Assault Vehicles they’ve wasted more taxpayer dollars on.
Aren’t you against unions, though? Defund the FOP and BPA instead. Perhaps those funds could be spent improving the community or training cops better instead of paying off settlements for bad cop behavior condoned by the leadership and excused by the unions.
I see we’re going with the sanitized version.

I continued to be flabbergasted by the baby shark phenomenon, for the mere fact that it has been around at least 25 years (probably longer than that, but that was the first time I was exposed to it) , but somehow exploded into the zeitgeist 3-4 years ago. In the late 20th century, it was a staple of campfires and cub scout meetings. But apparently many people had never been exposed to the song until some version became popular on Youtube?
I found the whole backlash against it analgous to the entire population snapping and saying “I have had it with Old McDonald and his cluck-clucks here and cluck-clucks there!” It seemed so weird (to me) that it suddenly became an annoyance. But as I alluded, evidently it was not as universal as I had assumed it to be.
