Trumpet laiker shot in bollocks
Uruguayan television has broadcast scenes of a trumpet laiker being shot in the bollocks for not being able to play his part. The trumpet laiker in question was auditioning for a seat with the Montevideo Symphony Orchestra under notoriously hot-headed dago conductor Armando Tantalusqualan.
After the trumpet player splits several notes, Tantalusqualan, who appeared to be high on drugs, shot him in the bollocks. The scene ends with the trumpet laiker writhing in agony on the floor as Tantalusqualan says, "For me, it is the only way".
The Geneva-based International Guild of Trumpet Laikers has condemned the atrocity.
