not all of chapman thrilled to see yoo.

In a tongue-in-cheek nod to all the hubbub that's been surrounding former Bush legal adviser John Yoo's temporary teaching gig at Chapman University's School of Law, The Daily Chapman, a satirical blog about the university, wrote that Yoo's class is itself torture.

If you'll recall, Yoo, a visiting professor at the university, has been under a lot of fire lately for his role in memos that authorized torture, including memos released several weeks ago by the Obama administration that condoned the use of waterboarding and confinement in boxes.

Daily Chapman contributor Nico Monetti takes this premise and opens up a box, if you will, of clever parallels of sitting through a law school class and actual torture. Not much of a stretch.

"While some consider Yoo’s extreme teaching methods as an effective means of challenging students to reach their full potential, others deem them unconstitutional and barbaric. 'Today Professor Yoo made me stand in front of the class in my underwear while drilling me with questions,' confessed one still-shaken-up student who asked to remain anonymous. 'If you don’t give him the information he wants, he tortures you. I resorted to just saying whatever came to mind to get him to stop hurting my feelings.' "

Although the article is pretty interesting, I do have to draw the line at the writer's somewhat, um, racist depiction of Yoo's speech.

" 'Yoo tired of having to explain Yoo’s-self,' began Yoo. 'Yoo do not torture students…Yoo challenge students. Yoo get paid lot of money to turn white people into future legal muscle of nation. Yoo do what Yoo have to do to get the information Yoo need out of Yoo’s students. ' ”

Seriously, people. We not all speak that way. We learned the English. Still, it's a rather entertaining read. Check it out here.
