A small New Zealand city has been plagued by drivers blasting Céline Dion ballads at 2 a.m. for almost a year

It's part of the "siren battles" trend that has been going strong in New Zealand for several years, which appears to be particularly popular with indigenous people from the Pacific Islands.

These battles involve rival crews competing to blast the most powerful and clear sounds from loudspeakers attached to cars, or even bicycles, to win the title of "siren king."

That's the dumbest thing I've heard of since rolling coal and eating Tide pods.
