Ummm, what?

SpongeBob in NY torture sideshow

"Children's cartoon character SpongeBob SquarePants is being used as part of an art installation to protest against water-boarding as a form of torture.

The Water-boarding Thrill Ride by artist Steve Powers has been installed at Coney Island theme park in New York.

A sign on the outside shows SpongeBob saying "It don't Gitmo better!" - a reference to Guantanamo Bay - as another character pours water over him."




I'm sure there's a lot of people out there who would rather waterboard Spongebob Squarepants. And what would waterboarding a *sponge* do anyway?? Other than make him swell up?
