OK, OK - please cease the BOMBARDMENT of questions regarding DavidBlaine's latest stunt/elaborate cry for attention:
"Did his head explode?" No.
"Did he hang upside down for 60 hours straight?" In theory, no.
"Did he take a ten minute break every hour to wee and what not?" Absolutely.
"Were the people who made an effort to go see him ticked off?" Why, yes they were.
"Is that Kelly Ripa of Regis and Kelly fame interviewing him upside down?" It is indeed. She had a super-wild time.
"It looks like he has a harness on, did he have a harness on? It looks like he's got a harness creeping into his trousers there." If it looks like he had a harness on, then he had a harness on.
"That must be some mad bonding stuff he has tacked on to the bottom of his clodhoppers - do you know the brand? I've a chair that needs sticking to a wall from a height." It appears to be metal hooks keeping him attached, as opposed to some brand of crazy glue, apologies.
"How did he keep his sunglasses on?" Magic. How the f*ck should I know.
"Did his two-hour grand finale end with him attached to a load of safety wires while he jumped from his perch, only to be hoisted back up and disappear like a nocturnal angel into the night sky?" Weirdly enough, yes.
Blaine had reportedly told the press, prior to being strung up to his four-story high structure in Central Park, that he planned to "drink through a straw and urinate through a catheter during the stunt... But when it came to the reality, Blaine took five-to-ten minute breaks every hour, drinking water but not eating as he stood on the raised platform while disappointed spectators looked on."
In retaliation to newspaper headlines such as "Give Us a Break", Blaine mumbled: "I'm not going to pee all over myself to satisfy those people." But that was going to be the entertaining part?! Man, he really needs to learn a thing or two about human nature.
