David Blaine "Street Magic" = impressive.
David Blaine "Bubble Boy" = not so cool.
Just caught the last 5 minutes of the much-hyped latest David Blaine spectacle. So, he spends 177 hours in a bubble of water, causing his skin to peel, and voiding his body of its waste through a tube - all for public consumption for those gathered around his oversized Christmas ball which has been home for the last few days.
Then! He gets chained up and attempts to set the world record for holding your breath underwater. The time to beat was 8:58, he got to about 7 mins before he started to flail around like a dying fish...divers jump in, pull him out..doctor comes to the rescue. Meanwhile, the narrator is making Blaine out to be a "hero", for this little piece of "history". Come on...give me a feckin break. He grabs the mike, starts babbling like a baby, crying, thanking everyone for their support. Sad sad sad. Really. Then he is whisked away, probably to his waiting pile of money and hookers from CBS for the ratings pull. But not before the voice-over guy makes some more allusions to Blaine's spectacular strength as compared to astronauts...who can't even walk when they return from space. For shame!

Whoa, whoa! I do HEAR you. I like David Blaine but man, the guy has gone too far this time...good commentary
Nice one brotha!
IT would have been cooler if he was doing card tricks underwater...With a shark in the tank...and pirahnas...and he was covered in meat...that was old and stinky...and was from a wolf.
Nah...I'd still watch Family Guy instead...
