Breaking: Collegiate swimmers unexpectedly spill their guts

Atlanta, GA - At a swim competition of ACC schools, swimmers unexpectedly began revealing secrets while competing in the backstroke event. The swimmers, none of whom are believed to be terrorists, began yelling out intimate details of their lives while they were furiously competing. Coaches and family members were shocked at the bizarre turn of events that vindicated the observations of Senator Kit Bond regarding waterboarding.


Film at 11:00.

1. In theatre school, I learned...
That if you can't cry convincingly, cover your face with your hands and laugh hysterically... no one will be able to tell the difference.

2. I've seen that before. It's creepy.
Remember the Olympics in 1992? Two of the top three finishers in the 100 m backstroke started sobbing uncontrollably during the competition and confessed to taking asthma inhalers just prior to coming out on the deck for the finals.

They were immediately flown to Romania and never heard from again.

14. One looks at these comments by Bond and has wonder what kind of swimmer Bond must be.

Would the lifeguards ever allow him to be in the deep end without a floatation device?

16. This happens in Oregon when it rains real heavy. Criminals have to stay indoors.
Waterboarding is a euphemism. Let's all call it by the proper term, "Water Torture"

17. Technically speaking "water torture" is something completely different.
water torture is when the victim is forces to drink gallons upon gallons of water. It's, to say the least very very unpleasant. also known as "chinese water torture".

18. I thought the Chinese Water Torture was a steady drip of water
on the forehead for along period of time. Maybe I watched too many B movies.

20. Water torture is torture using water, which can take several forms.
The form I was exposed to did not use a board, just a tank of water, and your head is held under water.

21. "...swimmers unexpectedly spill their guts" Ewww! That must really mess up the pool.
Sorry. That was the first thought that popped into my head when I read your subject line. *Ahem* I'll go read the link now...
