Damn you! You got in before I could say something unneccessarily nasty.

Nath 09-08-2003 04:18 PM

The only people who I think are evil are you peole who want David to die in the box, (If he did die, they could burie him straight away).
Anyway, where did you hear he is eating peas?

Is he eating peas, or was that a joke? I'm sure he can go without eating, but he does need water! You can't live more that 2 weeks without water! I hope he doesn't die!

Facsimile 09-09-2003 07:28 AM

I thought it was 2 days and you need water, 2 weeks and you need food.

Forbidden Paradise 09-09-2003 10:01 AM

The more I'm actually learning about this dude, the more I want him to fail in this task.

RavenMM 09-09-2003 03:46 PM

apparently he will get 5 mill if he does this all the way

Fez 09-09-2003 04:45 PM

ah, so thats why he does these things. To get paid?

Wil 09-09-2003 04:50 PM

He claims he does it because he's an entertainer. It entertains me, so I'm happy. It's not my money he's getting. What amuses me even more, though, are the stories of people throwing eggs and flashing their boobs at him as he's suspended there. Apparently his girlfriend is mystified, saying Blaine never got such treatment in the US.

What do they expect?

Fez 09-09-2003 04:51 PM

well thats Britain for ya.

Here's a tiny internet news collumn on the stroy.

Some Londoners do not want illusionist David Blaine to succeed in his bid to spend 44 days without food in a glass box suspended from a crane in the center of the capital.
Since the American showman began his stunt Friday he has been pelted with eggs, taunted with the smell of fish and chips and woken up by a man banging a drum.

Police said Tuesday officers had been called in to deal with one man who was throwing eggs at Blaine's transparent box late Monday evening.

"The man was given a stern talking to. But he was not arrested," a police spokesman said.

The 30-year-old New Yorker is used to drawing admiring crowds for his other feats in the United States, including being buried alive and encased in a block of ice.

But newspapers said some Londoners were devising ways of breaking the American's spirit, saying they were already bored with his latest challenge.

"We were watching him at home on TV and it was really dull so we thought we would come down and liven things up. I wanted to wake him up," impromptu drummer Shiraz Azam, 21, told London's Evening Standard Monday.

The stunt is also causing traffic problems with motorists driving across the city's Tower Bridge slowing down to take a look.

Throwing eggs.... pure genius. Hopefully some make it to the airholes and splatter him with goop.

Any rotten goose eggs?

I just heard on the news women are exposing their bear breasts to get his attention...

Wil 09-10-2003 04:39 PM

A bacon butty (or something like that) salesman has been applying his trade around the area, because of the crowds Mr Blaine is attracting. Davey B is complaining that the smell is annoying him. In other words, he forgot to take into account that while he's in his box other people will actually be going about their daily lives, eating food, throwing eggs, y'know, the usual stuff.

Ah, poor Davey boy. You know, if I was encased in a transparent case, I'd probably pass the time by complaining about the pettiest of things, too.

Where can I sign up for my glass box?

OANST 09-10-2003 08:39 PM

People can seriously be asses. He is trying to entertain and all they see is a dirty american. The hypocrisy of all humanity humiliates me.

oddguy 09-10-2003 10:00 PM

I thought London was supposed to be filled with tea-time pocketwatch wearing people and kewl accents! Pip pip cheerio! Well, it appears my assumption is stereotypical. Bloody hell!

-oddguy:fuzcool:

SeaRex 09-10-2003 10:15 PM

I hope he catches some sort of exotic disease and infects the immediate area...

Although, I do have to say the whole 44 day thing is pretty stupid. I couldn't imagine anyone wasting over a month of their life for a crowd that doesn't really give a crap about him... or any kind of crowd for that matter. Poor, poor... silly wanker. :D

Hey... that may sound a little mean, but I wouldn't through eggs at the guy for Christ's sake.

oddguy 09-10-2003 10:20 PM

The people throwing eggs at David Blaine are the loserz that know he can't fight back and they think it's funny. Pfft, idiots!:rolleyes:

-oddguy:fuzcool:

Ashe 09-11-2003 02:51 AM

Hello everyone. Wow, 44 days. That is a very long time to stay in a box. However I do not know who this person is, this stunt seems it would be difficult to me.

Now everyone wants to do the stunt now :p

And the throwing Eggs part, isnt there cops around the place to guard his box or somefing??

Forbidden Paradise 09-11-2003 06:59 AM

I personally think the cops have better things to do... and with the crowd around him, I doubt they can catch the culprits.

Facsimile 09-11-2003 07:28 AM

Oh so it's transparent. I was wondering how most of what people were saying fitted in.
He probably wouldn't have cops, but probably some sort of security I would think would be in order.

Hobo 09-11-2003 01:29 PM

I heard from a mate that people with air rifles are taking potshots at him, no one has hit though. it'd kind of spoil it if he got shot, I wouldn't get to see him suffer.....

Wil 09-11-2003 02:20 PM

LOL, I have to laugh at all of you who have actually dissed the morons who have been throwing eggs. Yes, they're almost certainly the sort of people who go to Ibeza (it being the chillout capitol of the world) and have all-night raves. I hate those sort of people as much as the next guy, but sheesh guys, c'mon: they're only having a laugh, no matter how crude. It's not so much pathetic of them as it is distainfully tactless mischief. I'm seriously surprised no one took pot shots at him in America. You sound so drab. :p

Anyway, I hardly give a care in the world about his latest stunt, basically because it's utterly boring. Being buried alive, encased in ice or standing on a pole for ages, they're interesting things. After that, progressing to being inside a case for a long time seems just dull. There should have been more publicity about him standing on one of the London Eye capsules. That would be more interesting, even if it wasn't a test of endurance.

There are police taking away people caught throwing eggs and bollocks.

Fez 09-11-2003 03:29 PM

how do you throw bollocks?

Wil 09-11-2003 05:23 PM

Erm... figure of speech?
