Obscure to all except those well-versed in Yuuzhan Vong lore.
The National Anthem should be replaced with Stars and Stripes Forever and by law must always be performed with a full piece orchestra.

Obviously not the same, but reminds me of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Midgley,_Jr.

quote:

On October 30, 1924, Midgley participated in a press conference to demonstrate the apparent safety of TEL. In this demonstration, he poured TEL over his hands, then placed a bottle of the chemical under his nose and inhaled its vapor for sixty seconds, declaring that he could do this every day without succumbing to any problems whatsoever.[5][8] However, the State of New Jersey ordered the Bayway plant to be closed a few days later, and Jersey Standard was forbidden to manufacture TEL there again without state permission. Midgley would later have to take leave of absence from work after being diagnosed with lead poisoning.[9]

I think he's referring to ManCow, specifically, and he, predictably, only lasted a couple of seconds. (gah, beaten)

Now Sean Hannity, who said he'd do it, never did. Big shocker there.

It was Mancow, and as I recall he later admitted that he wasn't actually waterboarded properly and never felt in danger but he was trying to make a statement anyway

Because these morons don't have the experience necessary to know that pain is not the same as damage, they assume that anything that isn't damaging can't be physically torturous. As if convincing the lizard brain that it is literally drowning wasn't a particularly horrible thing to do. To me it sounds like one of the worst forms of torture I can imagine. If there are worse ones I probably don't want to hear about them.
