WLS Host Mancow is Waterboarded, Declares it 'Torture'

By , About.com Guide   May 23, 2009

Follow me on:

WLS Radio host, Erich "Mancow" Muller, put his opinions where his mouth is on Friday - literally - and subjected himself to a waterboarding procedure in front of witnesses and cameras. After a few seconds, Mancow said is was "worse" than he thought it would be and declared waterboarding "torture". (Right: Mancow about to be waterboarded. (Photo Credit: © WLS, Chicago)

nbcchicago.com reports: "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."

You can see the video of Mancow's stunt at YouTube.
