Blaine ain’t no Houdini
In another spectacularly idiotic publicity stunt, American “illusionist” David Blaine has most likely given himself brain damage by attempting to hold his breath for nine minutes. The man who once froze himself in a block of ice for 72 hours has spent the last week under water, while millions of seppos across the US gawked at him through the wonderful medium of the idiot box.
The bad news from the doctors is that he may have suffered irreversible brain damage. Personally, I don’t think he’s got that much to worry about. Maybe he could have a double lobotomy live on air for his next stunt.
