I'm the occasional lycra bike man
The lycra is needed for the bum cushion built in


Sa is pretty good when it comes to bike lanes and designated walking/bike paths

Done a little bit of country riding on the road
Nearly s**t myself everytime a semi goes past
But figure it would be a nice quick way to go

Option A: Padded seat
Option B: Padded ass

Why are we choosing B over A?

The "My Way" killings are a social phenomenon in the Philippines, referring to a number of fatal disputes which arose due to the singing of the song "My Way", popularized by Frank Sinatra,[1] in karaoke bars (more commonly known as "videoke" in the Philippines). A New York Times article estimated the number of killings to be about 12 as of 2022. Between 2002 and 2012, numerous people were killed for singing this song.[2]

Explanations for these incidents differ from the song being simply frequently sung among the nation's karaoke bars where violence is common or to perceived aggressive lyrics of the song.[3]


"Karaoke rage" in other countriesEdit

Cases of singers being harassed, assaulted or killed mid-performance have been reported all over East and Southeast Asia. Incidents of "karaoke rage" outside of Asia have also been documented.

In August 2007, a karaoke singer in Seattle, Washington was attacked by a woman who wanted him to stop singing Coldplay's "Yellow".[10]

In March 2008, a man was arrested in Thailand for shooting eight people to death, including his brother-in-law, in a dispute stemming from several karaoke offerings, including repeated renditions of John Denver's "Take Me Home, Country Roads".[11]

In December 2008, a man at a Malaysian coffee shop hogged the karaoke microphone so long he was stabbed to death by other patrons.[12]

In August 2012, a fight over the microphone broke out in a Chinese karaoke parlor, with a man killing two relatives with a meat cleaver.[13]

In July 2013, an American was stabbed to death for refusing to stop singing in a karaoke bar in Krabi, Thailand.[14]
