If we’re going to have the state sponsor putting a person being tortured on a license plate, I say we need fair representation of all forms of torture. Waterboarding is big in the news, but let’s not forget our old favorites like being drawn-and-quartered, getting put in the iron maiden or being staked to an anthill. C’mon, we can do better than crucifixion. It’s so hackneyed. Let’s get creative on our next license plate.

drawing and quartering just won't show right with the space limitations and people generally don't know what waterboarding looks like. crucifixion is easily recognizable and has the violence kids love. but iron maiden is also a great idea and i'd argue their "blaze era" from '94-'99 was probably the most painful for me personally
