I logged on hoping to see a thread about this, did anyone just see this on abc? what a freaking joke! first of all, he didnt hang upside down for 60 hours straight, he took at least one break an hour (and yes, i understand its impossibly dangerous, but this is his job. don't lie to us and say its 60 hours straight when you're taking water breaks on a cherry picker). he capped it all off with the dive of death, which involved him jumped off a 44 foot platform and then hanging around from this wire for about 30 seconds then flying off into the night. oh my god! what took him away!? nothing the audience at home saw. but i definitely heard people booing as he 'floated' away. even the announcer couldn't fake his amazement at how crappy it was.

I was hoping the blood would rush to his eyes and explode. That would be the only thing to make me watch the shit this moron does

As stupid as it all is, hearing some of the doctors talk about his various stunts gives me a little respect for the guy.

Yeah, I was reading on CNN that one doctor was saying that blindness was one possible result of this latest stunt.

as I said in the thread about the upside-down crap...

The only magicians anyone should care about are Houdini, Penn & Teller, and David Copperfield. Blaine sucks.

Penn & Teller are awesome. Did anyone ever see their TV show? I've got it coming via Netflix fairly soon, I think...

He already announced his next magic trick too, assuming he doesn't die in this one. He just said he waned to masturbate in a glass box for 24 straight hours in Times Square

chris angel or whatever? I really cannot stand that clown, at least david blaine has some crazy card tricks. they should have like a trick-off or something, whoever loses has to stop doing magic forever. One less douchebag on tv

I'm probably the only one who loves David Blaine.

He makes me like magic. He just has so many cool tricks.

Especially, when he "Reads minds"

So cool.

oh my god, I love it so much, and I know there are a ton of other AP Users who have it and love it as well. I have the unlimited, 3-at-a-time plan and pay a little less than $20 a month, and I feel like I would happily pay twice that for how much use and enjoyment I get from it. It's allowed me to see a ton of movies I would never otherwise "pay" to see, and it's great for watching entire seasons of TV shows. I can't recommend it enough.
