South Park becomes a form of torture

saddam south parkAccording to Matt Stone, the U.S. Marines are using South Park as a form of torture in Iraq. Apparently American forces are making Saddam Hussein watch the South Park movie: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut... repeatedly. The movie was banned in Iraq when it came out in 1999 because it depicts Saddam as a homosexual.

When speaking at the Edinburgh TV Festival, Stone said, "That's really adding insult to injury. I bet that made him really happy."

This sounds like a rumor and the mention of torture makes it seem more like an inflammatory rumor at that. There's nothing more substantial than "he said, she said" in the story. I'd like to hear what the US Marines have to say about it before it gets splashed all over the web, but it's already being reported on multiple sites. Some confirmation or denial from a reputable source that can *be identified* should have been acquired before splashing this all over like it's real news.

Honestly, calling it "torture" to make someone watch a parody of himself is ridiculous. I guess every Comedy Central roast should be reported as torture for the subject too.
