I think this is disgusting.
This further trivializes torture—cruel and unusual punishment in general. Hannity has the choice as to whether he is subjected to this. He gets to agree to the terms. He gets a social reward for doing it. In the worst-case scenario he can laugh the whole thing off and it won't happen.
This is more of the same in America: a morally bankrupt sideshow.
