Billionaire asshole plays Gilligan's Island theme song on loop to annoy his neighbor

The rich are once again fighting among themselves. While the power struggles of society’s elite usually results in increased misery for those below them, though, this time, we’re happy to report, it’s only a couple of Laguna Beach jerks going to war with one another with classic TV theme songs in a dispute over lawn decorations.

The Los Angeles Times reports that the argument began with protective netting being placed over “a 22-foot-long blue glass [outdoor art] installation” by billionaire “bond king” Bill Gross and his partner Amy Schwartz. After complaints from their neighbors, it’s now escalated into Gross and Schwartz allegedly blaring Gilligan’s Island’s “theme song on a loop at all hours” to tactically annoy their way into keeping the sculpture in place.

The neighbors, “tech entrepreneur Mark Towfiq and his wife, [Carol Nakahara]” were angry enough about Gross and Schwartz’s outdoor sculpture that they filed a lawsuit. (As you do, when a neighbor has lawn art you don’t like.) The most interesting part of the suit is the detail that Gross and Schwartz are also accused of “playing blaring music at all hours, including the Gilligan’s Island theme song, rap and pop, in an effort to force him to drop the complaint.” Towfiq was granted a restraining order, in part thanks to evidence like a text alleged to have been sent by Gross that reads, “Peace on all fronts or well [sic] just have nightly concerts big boy.”
