A supervisor at a motivational coaching business in Provo is accused of waterboarding an employee in front of his sales team to demonstrate that they should work as hard on sales as the employee had worked to breathe.

That’s right, “motivational waterboarding” is what this guy allegedly did! Now the guy who was waterboarded is suing the company claiming that he’s in therapy now as a result.

I find this story to be hilarious! For one, because a motivational speaker would actually do something that outrageous. Secondly, because the guy actually allowed himself to be waterboarded.

The whole story sounds a little over-the-top, but it will be interesting to see how it all plays out in court.

A judge on Wednesday ruled that Al Gore’s award winning climate change documentary “An Inconvenient Truth” should only be shown in schools with guidance notes to prevent political indoctrination.

High Court judge Michael Burton’s decision follows legal action brought by a father of two last month claiming the former US vice-president’s film contained “serious scientific inaccuracies, political propaganda and sentimental mush”.
