Steve Powers presents waterboading

As if Coney Island wasn’t fun or controversial enough already! Steve Powers aka Espo has decided to showcase one of the US military’s approved torture techniques. Complete with Sponge Bob Square Pants signage and the orange jumpsuit as a Guantanamo Bay reference, the dollar operated game does not disappoint. And the good thing? Unlike in the real world torture chambers where prisoners suffer from the technique, in the Coney Island version no one gets hurt. Too bad that CNN won’t continue to cover the real thing and the bullshit happening at the real Gitmo and can only cover this kind of stuff where its fake.

Ket grew up in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York. From a young age, he fell in love with Hip Hop culture and the graffiti art movement, During his college days at New York University, he founded STRESS, a publication dedicated to celebrating urban communities, Hip Hop culture and educating youth about their rights. This magazine went on to have international distribution and being translated into Spanish language as well. Through Stress magazine, Ket created a program with Riker’s Island prison to donate magazines to inmates and to take Hip Hop musicians to perform at the prison system in order to reduce violence and connect them with the outside world. He was also one of the founders of Black August, a collective made up of Stress magazine staff and The Malcolm X Grassroots movement, in order to raise money and support for political prisoners and exchange music and ideas with youth in countries with emerging Hip Hop scenes like Cuba. Most recently he was a founder of Complex magazine along with Marc Ecko, and started a publishing imprint, From Here to Fame, to preserve Hip Hop’s rich history and to provide an imprint for marginalized writers and artists. He also has served as a consultant to Ecko Unlimited on both their apparel and video game businesses, MTV, Lugz, Vibe magazine, PepsiCo, Timberland, Azzure Denim, and many other brands.
