John Yoo Pranked by Australian Comedy Team

Can we say "pwned"? I think we can. According to The Huffington Post, chief architect of the Bush torture memos John Yoo was pranked while teaching class (unclear whether at Berkeley or Chapman University) by a member of the Australian comedy show, The Chaser's War on Everything, who was dressed as an Abu Ghraib prisoner:

The actor climbed on a desk while Yoo was discussing constitutionality and said, "I've got one question, how long can I be required to stand here 'til it counts as torture?" When Yoo ended the class and a student yelled at the actor to leave he said, "I'd love to move but every time I do my balls get buzzed."

He was later physically escorted out of the classroom by a school official.

The best part of the video is the appreciative laughter and even applause from the students in the class throughout the performance. (The only question I have is, what are those students doing in that class and why is this man still allowed to teach?)
