I was reading through the other topic, but I thought I'd make my own because I prefer to call him by this name.

Just to clear up a few facts about the Blandster and his stunts:

He spent 36 hours up a pole. Hardly amazing.

He was meant to fake his death at the end of it, but it was leaked to the press - that's why I reckon he's going to be "dead" at the end of this one.

44 days is nothing. UK prisoners of war in Iraq during the first Gulf war had to endure far longer times in solitary confinement. There are even reports of Irish hunger-srtikers going 70+ days in prison and recovering well afterwards.

This box thing is an exercise in sensory deprevation. A clear box. Above the Thames. Thousands of people watching him and millions passing by every day. What senses are he depriving exactly?


This whole thing stinks of hype and back-slapping to me. $5 million for just over a month of his life? He'll be back hanging out with Leonardo DiCaprio and having threesomes with groupies in no time.

Yeah. What's all the hype about? All you can see is a bloody box with him in it. It isn't like he's facing fear.

The longet was a guy named Lwrence McKeon, who lasted for exactly 70 days before he fell into a coma. He recovered though, like you said.

I could do that easily. I wouldn't stay there for as long as he does, but it isn't scarey to do that.

Yeah Twain, just ask David Blaine if you can borrow all the gear for a while, and ask CHannel 4 to view you.

Oh, and you'd probably have to get permission from the City of London, and the Police and stuff.

Someone else should clearly get their own box and hang it next to his, and then last a couple of days longer.
THEN he would look stupid(er)

No Azul i was actually talking to Monkey_man.
