Abstract
Smack in the middle of the Coney Island Arcade (Figure 4.1), Spongebob lies face up on a table. His nemesis, Squidward, stands over him, wearing a mean face and holding a watering can – ready to pour. In a speech bubble Spongebob exclaims, “IT DONT GITMO BETTER.” Welcome to the Waterboarding Thrill Ride (Figure 4.2).
