Yo, did you hear? Some douchebags in Congress are totally trying to put a ban on all waterboarding.
What kind of bull crap is that? It’s like, I’m totally being cock-blocked by the law, just because I like to go “boarding on some waves.” Whether you’re a wake- or a surfboarder, this ban idea has GOT to get you pissed off.
It’s not like the law hasn’t been on my back before. Like, sometimes when the waves are too low, I call up my brah Sancho and we try our hands at skateboarding. I’m not that great at it, but since I’m alright at surfing, I can at least pull off a decent 180 or 360 off a stairway railing.
That is, until Johnny Law comes over and confiscates my board ‘cuz I’m causing a “public disturbance.” F’n rent-a-cop.
Whatevs – back to the water-boarding ban. Congress wants to ban all forms of it ‘cuz they think it’s a type of torture or some stupid crap. Ch’ya – maybe to a newbie it’s torture. But for a seasoned semi-pro like myself, the only torture is the off-season. And that’s only if I decide not to hit some waves in Hawaii that year.
Like that’ll happen.
Some of these d-bags in Congress say we need to be a shining example for the world to follow, and that a ban on waterboarding is a good thing. Others say we’re at war and that we need to use all the resources we have to win it.
I don’t give a flying **. I just want to go boarding, brah!
So here I am, sitting on the beach, just wondering when it will be when the stupid government’s gonna ban all other forms of recreation I love – like being a mallrat, playing my music real loud at night, or even smoking a bong in my parents’ basement when they’re out of town. What bus’ness is it if I get an occasional high once in awhile, be it from Mary Jane or a kick ass 20-foot wave?
The ban on waterboarding has got to end. Gimme that board – I’m leading a resistance.
After my tan, that is. Hey – a bro’s gotta look good when he’s perfecting his craft.

Wow this is the worst piece of satire I've ever written. I hope this was the winning submission for an elementary school writing competition, because if it isn't, you might as well just drop out now and save yourself some money.

This was a joke because it was April Fools week.
