SpongeBob SquarePants in protest art against water-boarding
Popular cartoon character SpongeBob SquarePants is included in an art exhibit by Steve Powers who is protesting against water-boarding as a method of torture.

The Water-boarding Thrill Ride is an installation, which visitors to Coney Island theme park in New York are invited to see.


9780376SpongeBob is shown saying "It don't Gitmo better!" while he has water poured all over him.

At the price of $1, the public can peer through a barred window and witness a Guantanamo-style interrogation, brough to life by animated robots.

The artist Powers claims that he wants people to think about the terrifying form of interrogation, which makes the victim feel as if they are drowning.

As a living work of art, Powers is also planning to be water-boarded himself in the near future by a professional trained in interrogation techniques.

The Water-boarding Thrill Ride is then being taken and set up again at Manhattan's Park Avenue Armoury.
