But what is interesting is the picture that went with the story and the expanded caption to go with it (see slideshow on that web page):
BAGHDAD, IRAQ - OCTOBER 28: An Iraqi detainee weeps while tied down in a "humane restraint chair" at the maximum security section of the Abu Ghraib Prison October 28, 2005 on the outskirts of Baghdad, Iraq. His jailers, U.S. Army military police, said that he was being punished for disrespecting them, and that he would spend 2 hours in the chair as punishment. The suspected insurgent, a juvenile, had earlier been moved to the maximum security section of the prison for 30 days for attacking a guard in another section of the facility. Abu Ghraib has almost doubled in detainee population since the beginning of the year from 2,500 to 4,600. (Photo by John Moore/Getty Images)
Okay, maybe because I'm getting old and my eyes are getting weaker - but doesn't that look like a rather tall, clean-shaven adult caucasion who is not crying? Indeed, given the tidy white T-shirt and military hair cut (AKA the Packetjunkie 'doo), I suspect this is an American soldier doing a "demo" of this chair at best. Or maybe Ryan Stiles from Whose Line is it Anyway? and The Drew Carey Show. Either way, looks kinda fishy to me.
Not only that but if it is a legit picture, this prisoner of war who has a history of attacking guards has to sit in a chair with a seatbelt for 2 hours.
OH WHAT BRUTAL HORROR
I wonder what kind of chair the American POW and kidnap victims have to sit in before they have their head cut off?
Looks like there is more to the chair than meets the eye in that picture. Could it be that he is actually being forced to sit on some type of diabolical appliance attached to the seat?

Like a toaster with overcooked strawberry Pop-Tarts? That filling can really burn when it's hot!

You mean like being forced to watch MROB live video feeds????
Or Emilie banging folks for tupperware parts on her Mitsubishi??
That was JT's line. She was lurking when I posed the question and should have jumped right in there. You can come up with something much better. More diabolical.

Dude, the red jelly dildo belongs to us ALL now. It's JT's Alley contribution to the urban dictionary, kinda like 'oh noeessss' or 'all your base are belong to us'. LOL! OMG!11111111oneoneeleven
I was thinking more along the lines of a nine inch vertically stacked tower of blender blades, dipped in pig urine and powered by slow turning DC motor with surge capabilities to twelve thousand rpm.

Well - at least I made it through the weekend without someone running up to me screaming "red jelly dildo" - terrifying my driver and leading to strange evening conversations.
I will try to think somat least SOMETHING else to be the coiner of - other than that. However, that's one that kinda sticks in your mind - unfortunately.
As for the "torture chair" - there are online sources for chairs similar - that folks are paying big bucks for - and they are being used for about the furthest thing from torture you can imagine.

I'm shocked and dismayed that you would even KNOW about such things, Janni. Now go say fourteen Hail Marys and flush your internet browser cache.

She who possesses the red jelly dildo has knowledge beyond her desires.
I fear that the only way to destroy its power is to make the dangerous journey to the top of Mount Poon, and thrust the dildo back into the moist fleshy darkness from whence it came.
