It goes in the "jackass" cathergory of entertainment. As I previously stated: If he doesen't hurt anybody else, and someone is willing to pay, what is the problem?

Wanker.

You may not know it, but most people practice sports without getting paid, and without people watching.

Once again; there is no problem. I've never claimed there is one.

As for calling me a wanker... Not since five days back.

Actually, if you look at all posts in this thread, there seems to be just one person in here who truly cares.

Couldn't agree more!

well, there was actually some bastard that took his remote-controlled miniature helicopter, tied a hot burger fresh off the grill to it and took it for a little spin around the box

I think David Blaine is awsome. He pushes things to the limit and that is cool in my book. I find it funny all of you blasting him yet the number one shows in america are the reality shows and most of them do shit like this for money and we cheer them on.

David Blaine obviously does not have enough to do!

Regardless of your opinions on David Blaine's stuff, it obviously worked. It has enticed all of us to sit down, think, and write an opinion--good or bad. Either way, he's in our thoughts, and he's getting attention. Being in the news is exposure, no matter what they're saying.

When he first came out with his specials on TV, he got negative reactions from some people, especially magicians, since his illusions are either: a. camera tricks or b. tricks that all of the magicians purchased 15 years ago for 20 bucks, and never got a special with (myself included). Point is, he knew the kind of atmosphere needed, and he knew how to drum up publicity, and now he's pretty damn famous.

Bottom line: he's created a buzz, and the ratings from his next show will probably prove this...oh yeah, and he slept with Fiona Apple (I think I just spelled that wrong). So, yeah, he's ahead of me.

I hope he loses all the money he made when the police present him with a policing bill.

No offence to any americans, but I dont see why a foreigner to this country should come into our capital cause chaos etc and have his security guard do illegal searches of people walking along the embankment. Hardly right, and as for people who say he is brilliant and deserves respect, he hasnt go mine, the only day he will earn my respect is when he pays his policing bill and goes home.

Moreland · 10-23-2003, 06:56 AM

So what if he is your cousin. He is an idiot.

eple · 10-23-2003, 06:58 AM

Wow Bones, you're related to him too? I'm his bastard child!

How is he an idiot?

Because he can do something you can't and makes a lot of money for it? I would call that idiotic exactly....

I gave my reason in the post before that one.

If he has a bill I am sure he will pay it. This hardly makes him an idiot. If you go to a sporting event here you get searched too. His guards were protecting him. He was hanging helpless in the air and you guys were throwing things at him.
