David Blaine can buff my scrotum

I see where that street magician and all around irritating "personality" David Blaine (photo at right, trying to look frightening) is hanging upside down in New York. Apparently, he wants to set a world's record for dangling by his feet.

This last idiotic stunt could kill him, according to doctors--at the very least, maybe make him blind for life, because of all the blood rushing to what little remains of the brain he was born with. Plus, where's the dignity in having to pee through a catheter, upside down? Wouldn't it all kinda...run back down your chest? And who do you have sex with while you're upside down--Batgirl?

Now I admit, I kinda enjoyed some of those earlier street magic specials he did--until that other world class putz, Chriss Angel, came on with his "here's how we do that" series of shows, where he revealed the secrets of some of Blaine's tricks. After that, I lost all respect for Blaine, and magicians, and clowns, and especially mimes. Street performers can buff my scrotum.

Blaine--what a douchenozzle. Look, if I want blood rushing to my head, I perv photos of Salma Hayek--now there's an instant blood pressure hit, lemme tell ya! But Blaine, who has way too much time on his hands and apparently very little remaining imagination, is now encamped (albeit vertically challenged) from some guy wires over the Wollmann Ice Rink, trying to prove his point.

The thing that strikes me as silly, over and above everything else, is that this Blaine doesn't seem to make anything happen after pulling off one of these stunts, financial-wise. Where are the sponsorships? Is he doing Wheaties ads? After this upside down thing, he'd at least be in demand for bungee jumping companies--don't you think?

He's not like that Phelps kid from the Olympics, that's for sure.

I really dislike David Blaine. He contributes nothing. I put him in the "who gives a rats ass" category.

Selma is a contributor however....

What he is doing is just flat-out stupid. Nothing is worth risking your health for, nothing.

The news had a piece on him this morning; about how doctors warned this stunt could kill him - complete with over-dramatic voice intonations.

Betcha a nickel that the same people who like Blaine and Angel think Sarah Palin is qualified to be VP of the U.S.
