..Er.. I think it's supposed to be tar and feathers.
Being tarred/feathered in the past was considered a way of humiliating someone. Like getting rotten vegetables thrown at you, only more terrible. (Have you ever gotten tar on your hands? It's /horrible/.)
I don't know if they really used tar, though. The only way to really remove tar from skin is soaking in gasoline and rubbing it off. They might have used molasses instead. (In the 'Making of Moments' video, wasn't the substance really thick and slow to pour? I don't really remember. x.x)
