Wanna show somebody tortured (on TV or in the movies)? He has to have a beard.

WTF?

For me, it's torture to shave everyday. Hell, I'd spill it all if they made me shave and put on a tie. I'd last like three days, tops.

"By that, they did not mean bloodier or more savage. Instead, they wanted "24" to show torture subjects taking weeks or months to break, spitting out false or unreliable intelligence, and even dying. As they do in the real world."

Yeah, 'cause then it would be 24 YEARS instead of 24 hours.

Do these dogooders read their TV guides?

Nice to see they aren't phased by the apparent bullshit scenarios made up by Mister "Colombian neckties are so 1989" Gordon...

"Like, torture is real bad. But it's worse when they won't portray it correctly on TV..." Nice to see all the kids at Gitmo have these NFIDs looking out for them.

I'm being tortured right now...Watching the cheesy scene between Jack Bauer and his lovesick sister-in-law Marilyn. Oh, what a difference between Season 5 and 6.

Studio 60 tortures me every week. Where's my advocacy group?

There is a far more pleasant way to plug JoBeth Williams!

I've always wanted to do that!

This show has gone downhill ever since it's high point: Kiefer shooting JoBeth Williams in the kneecap.

I'd always wanted to do that.

i bet if they showed our Gitmo 'guests' some of Kim Bauer's plot lines, the war on terror would be over quite soon.

I am so confused as I thought the Prime Time Torture Project was NBC's pilot slate for 2007...

OK, back to Stage 3 of the grieving process.

Jack Bauer knows this is exactly what the terrorists want.
