On April 22, 2009, during a discussion of torture policy with Charles Grodin, Sean Hannity agreed to be waterboarded for charity.

That promise briefly caused a cable news ruckus when Hannity's ratings-challenged rival Keith Olbermann upped the ante by offering to kick in a thousand of his own charitable dollars for every second that Hannity could last being tortured.

After a few days the story died, and Hannity never underwent the controversial interrogation procedure. Now members of the Reddit community are calling the Fox News host to task for not walking the walk and thinking up ways to put his long-broken promise back in the spotlight.

If the idea is to shame or humiliate Hannity, this may not be the best way to go about it. If push came to shove, a boxed-in Hannity could probably endure a few seconds of waterboarding. And if he did, he would definitely throw his weight around like a tough-guy torture expert.
