There
was a new form of torture just discovered by authorities at the University
of Toronto. Campus police are blasting Backstreet Boys and Wayne Newton
songs in hopes of drawing out protesting students who are engaged in a
"sit-in".
The
students started the "sit-in" to protest clothing made in sweatshops in
Third World countries. They wished to force a campus wide ban on the clothing.
Last week the students look up residence in the office of the president
of the University. The university officials said they would be happy
to discuss the issue with the students, however they would have to end
the protest first.
Campus
police being the clever folks they are decided the best way to end the
protest and return the office to the president was to torture the students
by making them listen to music from the Backstreet Boys and Wayne Newton.
Power and phones lines were also cut to the facility. It appears to have
had some effect by tuesday only 8 of the original protesters remained.
Wonder
if the CIA knows about this form of torture? Will campus officials across
the world start using this as a punishment for delinquent students? "Let
the Punishment fit the crime"? If that is the case, college students are
in for a rude awakening.
