I also think it amazing noone has talked about the little talk at the bottom saying, "I prescribe you be stretched then, we don't define that as torture."

If you define effective as "memorable", then I'm with you. I used the word ineffective because the cartoon is sufficiently unclear that the controversy has centered around a point that is a little different from what the artist indicated.
So in essence, no argument with you here, but I just wanted to clarify exactly what I meant.
