Memory Village will allow visitors to be bound and tortured at a resort in Haiti, which was a slave nation before becoming the world's first black republic.
Tourists can play the part of a slave for 12 hours, in which they get a feel for the hardship endured in the Latin American country more than 200 years ago.

I've been meaning to post this article after reading it at the beginning of the month.
Not quite sure how I feel about this. People are strange.
