 media with hush money.

The claims were not true, but neither were they inherently unbelievable. And, like most conspiracy rumors they were almost impossible to disprove. As the mass media have always known, people love scary stories, so the tactic worked pretty well. But only for a while. To keep people interested the Vandals had to keep upping the ante, concocting ever more frightening horror stories. These efforts peaked with "Maui Mumbai."

Most people still remembered the great terrorist attack on Mumbai, India, in 2008. In July at a Video Vandal party a shocking song called Maui Mumbai was performed by a six-piece combo with all members in disguise. The song was later posted on the web as a music video in two video versions. One version was a straight live music and video of the band's performance at the party with the crowd dancing, hollering and having fun.

The other version was a tightly choreographed and colorful routine with a dozen dancers, men and women, dramatizing their massacre of guests at an upscale hotel on Maui's South shore. In it they wield machetes and Uzis like cheerleaders wielding batons, and they leave piles of bloody bodies in their wake.

The song has a chorus and a verse that are sung simultaneously, layered and woven together. The chorus, sparse and repeated almost like a chant, goes

Maui Mumbai...... will come bumbye.

Maui Mumbai...... will come bumbye. Bumbye is pidgin for bye and bye, meaning soon. Meanwhile the verse goes

To Maui come fly if you want to die.

The fuse has been lit; On your bodies we will spit.

The streets will run red; many tourists will be dead.

But even this production, which the police and prosecutors branded thinly-veiled terroristic threatening, had little long-term effect. Maui lovers who could afford the trip would not be deterred. Though the video went viral and caused some trip cancellations, this lasted only a few weeks. Hotel occupancy quickly rebounded to its recession-era levels around 60 percent, and the island's economy continued to muddle along.

The wild guys felt frustrated that their best efforts had so far failed to achieve sustained economic disruption. They concluded that their operations would have to be either much more frequent or much more radical. They chose the latter.
