Off-topic: David Blaine

Posted by Alex Holowczak

What's wrong with him?!

He does all these random feats, such as hanging upside down in New York like a bat. It seems to me that you Americans applaud him and are amazed by his efforts. When he did something like that in London, we threw eggs at him. Silly man.

What do you all think of him?

Quotations from Wikipedia:

"I have never been more proud of the British public that I have been over the past six weeks. The depth of cynicism that we can sink to within mere moments of an idiot doing something idiotic that isn't for charity. It's truly magnificent. There's no apthay in this country - not when there's a moron in a box doing something moronic. We're out in force.

The Times reported that eggs, lemons, sausages, bacon, water bottles, beer cans, paint-filled balloons and golf balls had all been thrown at the box. The Evening Standard reported that one man was arrested for attempting to cut the water supply to Blaine's box. According to BBC News, Page 3 girls and glamour models from various men's magazines flashed at him and a burger was flown up to the box by a remote-controlled helicopter as a taunt.

You have to live here for 10 years before you can be a British citizen if you were born abroad.

Well, she's lived in London for long enough to be able to apply, should she want to.

Regardless of how stupid he might seem, the dude is an amazing performer. Personally, I think his good ole' fashioned street magic smokes his "feats". I'd certainly take him over Criss Angel anyday...

His biggest feat is maintaining some inkling of relevance for things that require nothing but a lot of time. His street magic is impressive, but the rest is for the birds.

I think he's one of those time stopping demons that is trying to do just enough non-evil to gain favor with the other side.

If it keeps David Blaine busy and out of my head, I don't care.

orginally at the start of his little feats I was impressed but mostly by his card tricks and "magic". His feats of endurance though are boring and unimpressive. He's just another freakshow on 3rd St. Promenade in Santa Monica to me.
