Cruel? Certainly.
Unusual? Not nearly enough.

I live across a lake from about.... fifty million Cubans (it's Miami...) and they have parties all the time with tasteless music. The music amplifies and echoes over the water. I DREAM Kanye. I DREAM Daddy Yankee. *shudder*

No offense if you like them. At least it isn't Barry Manilow. That's nice.

I saw this article yesterday, and "violators" was misspelled. But it looks like they fixed it.
Kinda like when we blogits gently "correct" the Blogness, and then he goes in and magically fixes everything, so our posts about some mysterious typo look pathetic and we look like a bunch of weenies.

It's ok, TIffany. I'm Cuban and I can't stand our music for more than 2 mins.
