Brits unimpressed by David Blaine's "stunts" - pelt him with eggs....

Heh heh heh....I'm so proud of my countrymen.

IIRC, Fark has asked it's UK viewers to congregate and shine laser pens at him....

"Everybody's favorite magician is being treated like a human pi�ata as he hangs suspended over the Thames in a Plexiglas coffin for what he says will be 44 days without food. Blaine's box has so far been pelted with eggs, golf balls and even fish and chips. "

His magic's good, but these "endurance" feats are just the boring acts of an insane twat....IMHO.

1. But you are paying attention

and so are the people who come out there to watch and pelt his plexiglass coffin. All of this stuff gets him in the papers and that's all he wants.

2. The Ice Cube thing was the most boring stunt ever

But the other night I saw the plexi-glass on TV and did wonder if anyone would shoot at him. I would say it is stupid, except he is making a great living off of doing what he wants. Though they are silly to me, I give him kudos for that. But throwing eggs at him sounds like fun.

4. The record is 70 days - 44 days is a joke

Moreover, there are many many starving people.
What an untimely and insensitive display.

5. I remember joking on Friday...

...about lobbing big macs at him, sucking a lemon right in front of him etc. Nice to see people actually doing that. :evilgrin:

Never mind the teenagers, it's the drunks who've missed their train who I would worry about.

6. I find almost all magicians

to be smug and insulting.

Penn and Teller are cool though :)
