Judge Makes Rap Fan Listen to Classical Music

In Urbana, Ohio Andrew Vactor was charged with disturbing the noise ordinance back in July (while playing mostly rap music). As punishment, a judge ordered Vactor to pay a $150 fine or only $35 if he listens to 20 hours of classical compositions by Chopin, Beethoven, and Bach.

The judge's strange ruling was to demonstrate to Vactor how it might feel when someone is forced to listen to music they don't like. Andrew Vactor only lasted 15 minutes until he could not listen to the classical compositions any longer.

"I think a lot of people don't like to be forced to listen to music,"said the judge.
