Just Say No... to Hotsaucing

This is one of the more bizarre Wikipedia entries I've come across:

"Hotsaucing is the act of disciplining a child by putting hot sauce on his or her tongue. Those who use it say it is effective and much more humane than using corporal punishment. Arguably, however there is risk of burning the child's tongue and consequently the technique is a form of corporal punishment. As such European Union law rules it out as a legal approach in the EU.

"The practice probably gained most of its notoriety from a 2000 book, Creative Correction: Extraordinary Ideas for Everyday Discipline, by Lisa Whelchel. Whelchel is most famous for having played Blair Warner on the 1980s TV sitcom The Facts of Life."

If the hot sauce in question was Green Tabasco, I don't know if I would ever behave again, and let the EU be damned.

Because it may lead to negative associations with hot sauce -- or, in a worst case scenario, really strange food fetishes -- I am taking a stand against "hotsaucing."

I may be able to get behind the practice of "magic lasso-ing," as found in the imaginarty publication Oh Bondage, Up Yours: Super Ideas for Superheroine Disciple, by Lynda Carter, most famous for having played Wonder Woman on the 1970s TV spectacle Wonder Woman.
