No? Pity.
Magician Blaine to Be Suspended Over River Thames
LONDON (Reuters) - American magician David Blaine, dubbed "the modern day Houdini," is to be suspended in a glass box over the River Thames in London for more than six weeks without food.
The flamboyant, 30-year-old New Yorker, famed for spectacular stunts atop poles and frozen in ice, is to be hauled into solitary confinement on Sept. 5 in what he called "the most extreme exercise in isolation and physical deprivation ever attempted."
"Modern day Houdini?" Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Houdini actually, you know, escape from things? How does getting suspended in a box like a window washer make you comparable to the greatest escape artist of all time?
We have thousands of people in America subjected to isolation and physical deprivation in this country, you self-absorbed publicity whore: we call them 'homeless.' Starving yourself for no reason doesn't make you a magician, it makes you an idiot.
You want respect for your "art?" Jump over the damn Snake River Canyon.
