Waterboarding is one thing...



But being forced to listen to David Gray* is clearly torture, no?

Oh, Guantanamo. You make self-righteous musicians enforcing overly restrictive copyright laws seem downright cuddly.

According to Mother Jones, other songs on the "Torture Playlist" include:

Eminem - "White America" (Irony much?)
Eminem - "Kim" (Somehow I feel like the discomfort of this song probably transcends language barriers).
Drowning Pool - "Bodies" (At last someone acknowledges its essential truth).
Bruce Springsteen - "Born in the USA" (That this song is being used for torture makes me want to vomit with shame).
Don McLean - "American Pie" (On the other hand, this song kind of always did).
Rage Against the Machine - "Bulls on Parade" (Kind of the torture equivalent of playing "Every Breath You Take" at weddings? Zach de la Rocha's gonna be so... stoned that he won't do anything about this outrage!)
Prince - "Raspberry Beret" (I don't understand how this song could possibly torture anyone).

Argh.

*I quite like "Babylon," actually. And about that photo: those ain't Grados.
