midigation
Da lessening of da "sting" of something unpleasant through da use of computer-generated music.
Maybe if da infamous teen-aged repeat offender who was sentenced to suffering through hearing his mom sing "America The Beautiful" on da court karaoke ("because jail is too good for you, and has previously been ineffective in curtailing your irresponsible behavior") had instead merely been compelled to listen to said patriotic song's melody on a laptop, said less-painful penalty might have been somewhat of a midigation of da distress dat said juvenile delinquent would have otherwise felt at having been caught and sentenced yet again.
