Espo takes to the streets to enlist some willing waterboard soldiers…

Since Guantanamo Bay isn’t technically accepting any new prisoners, our man ESPO aka: STEVE POWERS is ready to set up a little WATERBOARDING torture experiment—in conjunction with NYC-based arts organization CREATIVE TIME—of his own and he needs you or your lawyer to sign up now. READ ON:

LAWYERS WANTED FOR NYC WATERBOARDING EVENT
—Step Up And Ride the Waterboard of Terror—
An Experimental Art Event Presented by Steve Powers and Creative Time

WANTED: Fifty courageous lawyers willing to be waterboarded for five seconds. Volunteers will be strapped to a wooden board and have water poured over their face to simulate drowning. You will be required to sign a release and attend one short training session prior to the event.

IS IT SAFE? Yes. The waterboarding will be carefully supervised and last for a maximum of five seconds. Trained medical personnel will be on hand. Volunteers will be able to stop the waterboarding at any time by ringing a bell.

WHEN? July 2008, exact details TBA
WHERE? New York City, exact details TBA
WHY? We’re interested in whether waterboarding is torture. Now that this question has been handed over to the courts, who better to answer it than trained legal professionals?

INTERESTED? QUESTIONS? Send your name and contact info to Steve Powers?at ridethewaterboard@gmail.com.

Fun & games on the streets of SoHo…

In honor of Espo’s upcoming event, we’ve commissioned a few artistic renderings of the waterboarding process to enlighten our readers:
