It's Time to Kill the Rooster

I'm trying to figure out if this is worse than the weird neighbors who pranced around naked in their garage when I was a kid...

Before leaving on vacation, a German couple set up a loudspeaker and timer with the sound of a crowing cock to blast their neighbors every morning.

After complaints, police in the northern town of Itzehoe obtained a warrant to enter the house and discovered the gear with the speakers aimed at the neighbors and rigged to a timer.

"The apparatus switched on between 2 and 4 o'clock in the morning and produced a cock crowing at an enormous volume. This would last for 20 minutes with breaks in between," police said.

To quote South Park (Bigger, Longer and Uncut), "What the f--- is wrong with German people?"
