Talk:Box (torture)

Untitled

Obviously it is not the same thing, but I'm not sure what it should be called: there is a weight-loss device that I remember seeing often in television of the 70s, where your head and arms emerged through holes in the box and the rest of your body stayed inside, and it made you sweat. What was this called? --Rpresser 17:14, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Method, or object?

The Box, also known as a hot box or sweatbox, is a method of solitary confinement.... Anyone placed in one would experience extreme heat, dehydration, heat exhaustion, even death, depending on when and how long one was kept in one.

How exactly would you place someone inside of a method? --66.18.238.241 (talk) 05:37, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Yes, article fails to say what exactly the box IS. -Zepheriah (talk) 11:58, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Box torture in Toy Story 3?

AFAIK, the only torture present in the film is when Barbie ties Ken up in a chair and rips up his collection of various clothing, and the only usage of boxes in the film are toyboxes, or that one time when Buzz imprisoned the others in a plastic box (and vice versa). - Constellus —Preceding undated comment added 11:01, 13 June 2011 (UTC).

Agreed. Misleading and unsourced. Removing. Heather (talk) 02:28, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

And now I'm wondering about some of the other examples. At the very least, the one from DS9 is most likely a stretch, and I don't remember there ever being one on Burn Notice. I'm gonna assume good faith and leave them as they are for now, but would really appreciate if someone familiar with more of the works could comment. Heather (talk) 02:32, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
