Waterboarded Shock Jock Mancow: 'Absolutely Torture'

Share

(Newser) – A Chicago radio host submitted himself to a waterboarding demonstration to prove it isn’t torture, but it didn’t work out that way, NBC affiliate WMAQ-TV reports. “Way worse than I thought it would be, and that’s no joke,” Erich “Mancow” Muller said. “I don’t want to say this: absolutely torture.” The Marine who administered the technique said the average person lasts 14 seconds. Mancow lasted 6.

I wanted to prove it wasn't torture. They cut off our heads, we put water on their face. I got voted to do this but I really thought "I'm going to laugh this off."
- Erich "Mancow" Muller

Why do you have to say "jews" douchebag? As you can see dickwad, just about any insult will work fine without having to resort to race. Try practicing by looking in the mirror you imbecile.

Why do you dislike the Jewish people so much, Verminator? Are you just an unthinking product of your culture, your religion, or your home environment? Do you really believe that your bigotry makes for a better world for you and for your children? This poor old hate-filled world needs you like it needs another war.
