Barney Teaches Bad Boyz a Lesson

Barney and Barry Manilow have teamed up to bring justice to the Colorado streets.

In a unique form of punishment, Judge Paul Sacco has subjected a group of teens to the music of Barry Manilow and Barney to justify their actions.

The teens' blaring car stereos were the cause of their Barney blues.

Judge Sacco hopes to teach the kids about manners in doing so.

What do you think of this unusual punishment? Could this kind of punishment really be effective? What would your response be if a child of yours was "subjected to Barney?"

Check out the video below! I can't help but feel bad for them... They're so pitiful...

In 2006, then-editor Steve Smith of The Spokesman-Review had the idea of starting a publication for an often forgotten audience: teenagers. The Vox Box was a continuation of the Vox, an all-student staffed newspaper published by The Spokesman-Review. High school student journalists who staffed the Vox made all content decisions as they learn about the trade of journalism. This blog's mission was to give students an opportunity to publish their voices. The Vox Box and the Vox wrapped up in June 2009, but you can follow former staffers' new blog at http://voxxiez.blogspot.com.
