Man shot dead for bad singing in Philippine karaoke bar
Another reminder of how fucked up society/citizens in other countries can be.... apparently this is a common scenario in the Philippines (people getting shot for singing out of tune at the karaoke bar).

MANILA (AFP) - A jobless man was shot dead by a security guard for singing out of tune in a Philippine karaoke bar, police said Thursday.
Romy Baligula, 29, was halfway through his song on Tuesday night in a bar in San Mateo town, east of Manila, when 43-year-old security guard Robilito Ortega yelled that he was out of tune.
As Baligula ignored his comments and continued singing, Ortega pulled out his revolver and shot him in the chest.
Senior Superintendent Felipe Rojas said Baligula died instantly.
The security guard was detained by an off-duty policeman shortly after the shooting.
Deaths and violence are not uncommon in Philippine karaoke bars.
The popular Frank Sinatra song "My Way" has been taken off many karaoke bars in Manila after it was found to be the cause of fights and even deaths when patrons sang out of tune.

Hopefully this practice becomes popular over here. I'm tired of all these American Idol wannabes coming into local bars and ruining everybodys night. Karaoke = worst invention ever!

Mental Note: My voice sucks so I guess it's in my best interest not to sing in the Philippines.

I think that is a perfectly reasonable response.

What are the chances of the security guard getting a job as a judge on American Idol?
