"David Bland"

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.

i agree monkey_man, blane is nothing more than an attention speaking loser

With food... Sure, not much food but at least they got some.

I'd like to see ANY of you people go 3 days without food, nevermind 44.

Still doesn't make me think he's not an idiot, because he is.

The point is how long he is staying up there... I'm guessing the distance from the ground is just to stop him from getting food from people.

Plus the fact the case is hardly going to be made airtight (shame) so he will be able to hear the sounds of the city all the time.

He is a big hoax.

I love high places, unless I don't have any safety equipment.

Sure, here you go. Now I'm going to starve myself for a month, but make sure you promise to give it back.

If it was that easy then I would!

OK, pay me $5 million and I will. Touche!
