I approve!

 

1. You know, somebody could have just taken a hammer to his PA system instead. That way you wouldn’t have to publish your condoning of murder.

   Even the trucks with the little bells are far more annoying than they used to be, because the bells are a broadcast recording. They used to be real ones, and thus the sound didn’t carry that far. Now it’s on a CD and blasts around the whole neighborhood.

   Besides, kids don’t need the bells anyway. They have the same subliminal ability to know when the truck is in the area that your dog has when he wakes up and goes and stands by the door 20 minutes before you get home. They just know.

2. Who condones murder? I just was happy that a local community silenced an annoyance. I really don’t care how they did it.

3. I loved the scene on the US TV show “Bones” when the male lead, an FBI agent, is trying to talk over an Ice Cream Truck soundtrack. He gets frustrated and shoots the clown mounted on top of truck with the speaker for a mouth. It was something I have considered doing an many a nice warm evening when the 180 decibel “Hello” and music starts. I was cheering the TV lol.

4. Yes, KnightHawk - Booth did it right - shot the annoying clown, not the driver. But I have to agree - now days they are particularly loud and the sound seems to carry for miles. You can’t hear the ambulance coming up on you from behind - but there is no way to miss the damn ice cream truck in the area.

   What’s wrong with that picture?

5. At least it wasn’t the MY T TAS T ice cream truck from Maximum Overdrive.  Quiet, but deadly.
