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? |
well thats Britain for ya.

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. -oddguy:fuzcool: |
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...
|
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. |

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.
|
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: |
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. |
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: |
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.
|
:
And the throwing Eggs part, isnt there cops around the place to guard his box or somefing?? |
I personally think the cops have better things to do... and with the crowd around him, I doubt they can catch the culprits.
|
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. |
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.....
|
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. |
how do you throw bollocks?
|
Erm... figure of speech?
|
He's quit...hee-hee...
|
Who's quit? David Blaine?! Elaborate.
-oddguy:fuzcool: |
:
|
Oh well he still failed and ruined his reputation... That's good enough for me!
|
*Basks in the love*
|
What made him quit? If it was all the women baring their chests to him, then what a sissy. I mean, this guy has survived living in a block of ice and he can't take eggs being thrown at him?! Not that the eggs would hit him.....they'd hit his glass case for cryin' out loud!
-oddguy:fuzcool: Read banner. Obey banner. I'm tired. |
Maybe he's finally cracked under the immense pressure he's brought upon himself over the past few years...
|
Yeah, maybe, but this stunt is lame compared to the ones he's done in the past. What made this one harder that the other ones? Hmmmmm.
-oddguy:fuzcool: Blah. |
I have no idea what Jacob is on about, David Blaine hasn't quit, I was just watching him two minutes ago. He's in the twentieth hour of his sixth day.
|
I knew I shouldn't have taken what Jacob said as truth.
*kicks himself in the head then falls on the floor* -oddguy:fuzcool: Ouch. |
I'm sure i heard on the news he's pulled out...
|
Well he hasn't.
|
Two teens and some guy were arrested for shining laser pens at his box, causing Mr Blaine to fear he was being snipered.
|
As far as I'm concerned, Blaine doesn't deserve this kind of attention.
|
He doesn't do this stuff for attention, he does it coz he wants to take magic to another kind of level, that future magicians can improve on even further. And he's just showing that you can put your body past it's limit if you put your mind to it
|
well, I'll just take the advice of my Buddhist monks if I want to transend my body, thank you very much. :D
