Barney the Dinosaur is torture?

Settling down to read my latest Empire magazine I was struck by an interesting snippet of info. Apparently US forces were using Barney the Dinosaur as an instrument of torture on insurgent prisoners in Iraq. I can't visualise what that could possibly entail but, it got me thinking of everyday things that could also be used. Top 3 would firstly start with so called singer Katie Melua. I seem to have a need to slit my throat when I hear the sound coming out of her mouth (???). Effective points 5 out of 5. My second pick would be any TV program hosted by Kat Deeley. Talk about overexposed she only has to do Playboy to complete full cycle. Effective points 4 out of 5. Thirdly, The 'Sheila's Wheels' advert played on a loop. (they are advertising for the public to join them in the car now) Effective points 3 out of 5.
