I'm always a skeptic of this stuff. Most of the time it ends up as ****-swinging contests.
This article highlights some of the more egregious examples of sheer idiocy.

This is my hands-down favourite though:
When Provo, Utah office worker Chad Hudgens volunteered for a team-building exercise last May, he was expecting something like an egg toss. Instead, his co-workers pinned him down while his supervisor poured water over his nose and mouth - a torture technique that simulates drowning, known as waterboarding. According to The Washington Post, the supervisor said afterward, "You saw how hard Chad fought for air right there. I want you to go back inside and fight that hard to make sales." Mr. Hudgens is suing the company.
Just think if they used that as an incident on The Office. Everyone would have accused the show of jumping the shark.
