Canadian Police Are Punishing Drunk Drivers With Nickelback

(CBS) -- The 'gift' the keeps on giving.

Not only will you be charged a fine, face criminal charges, and have years of driving suspension, but this town in Canada is adding an additional punishment for its drunk drivers this holiday season.

The Kensington Police Service took to Facebook on Saturday, announcing an additional punishment to someone caught driving - listening to Nickelback's album Silver Side Up on the way to jail.

"Kensington Police Drinking and Driving Gift. Christmas Bonus Edition

Now, with that being said, know that the Kensington Police Service will be out for the remainder of year looking for those dumb enough to feel they can drink and drive. And when we catch you, and we will catch you, on top of a hefty fine, a criminal charge and a years driving suspension we will also provide you with a bonus gift of playing the offices copy of Nickelback in the cruiser on the way to jail.

Now, now, no need to thank us, we figure if you are foolish enough to get behind the wheel after drinking then a little Chad Kroeger and the boys is the perfect gift for you.

So please, lets not ruin a perfectly good unopened copy of Nickelback. You don't drink and drive and we won't make you listen to it."
