Stop Putting Shit On Our Bodies, David Blaine!

David Blaine is quite a puzzle to me. He says he aspires to be like Houdini but I think he just aspires to be insane. His street magic is amazing & I really think he is a fabulous illusionist, but his stunts I just don't get. There's also something strangely sexy about him to me, but that's besides the point.

His latest stunt was hanging upside down for 60 hours while dangling above Central Park. He is a magician, but what exactly is magical about that? He's not doing anything mystifying, he's just proving to everyone how crazy he is. People criticized him for taking breaks to pee & drink water, which I also found hilarious. These people were coming to see him & walking all around him & under him, so why would they want him to pee while upside down? Don't they realize that they would get peed on? Maybe they would enjoy that, since he is David Blaine & all. Give the guy a break...he may be crazy but at least he has manners.

All his stunts are similar to this. He goes someplace where everyone can see him & makes a spectacle of himself. Whether it's frozen in ice, buried alive, holding his breath under water, or simply just standing on a high platform, he's just so bizarre. The A-Team played the game, what would you live in a box for. David Blaine would live in a box for a little publicity & a little weight loss. That's not magic, that's anorexia. There are a lot of other people who do that too, but you don't see them bragging about it to the world. They are actually in rehab getting help for that. Sorry David Blaine, but maybe you should stick with your card tricks & Cheez-its, you demon.
