Things Take a Turn for the Violent

For the heartless Schadenfreude out there:
Student Council is torturing us with mmmBop until the toy drive is complete. They play it during passing time all day, every day. The worst part? They're not the first ones to think of it. You want aversive therapy? Come over here, Little Billy. I'm going to pelt you with rocks until you stop screaming. Time for a visual aid!
Take out a piece of paper. Draw a circle. On one side of the circle write "Screaming." On the opposite side, write "Rocks." Make little arrow tops along the circle, all facing the same direction to show motion in a clockwise fashion.
There you have The Vicious Cycle.

They're not the second ones to think of it, either!
I used to hear it twice a day at the frickin' SJU Prep School while I was working as a Writing Center tutor.
