Declares it torture after only 6 seconds.
Following in the footsteps of Christopher Hitchens and Mike Guy of Playboy, conservative Chicago radio shock-jock Eric 'Mancow' Muller decided to submit himself to a round of waterboarding on-air Friday, in this instance in order to prove that it is, in fact, not torture.Turns out, however, things didn't quite go as planned for Muller, reports NBC Chicago:
With a Chicago Fire Department paramedic on hand, Mancow was placed on a 7-foot long table, his legs were elevated, and his feet were tied up.
Turns out the stunt wasn't so funny. Witnesses said Muller thrashed on the table, and even instantly threw the toy cow he was holding as his emergency tool to signify when he wanted the experiment to stop. He only lasted 6 or 7 seconds.
And the verdict: "It's way worse than I thought it would be," Muller said. And though he was somewhat loathe to admit, he found it to be "absolutely torture."
