Tw*tdangler defends Benito Mussolini stunt David Blaine has defended himself following widespread criticism of his Benito Mussolini twatdangle above New York's Wollmann ice rink - a daredevil 60-hour upside-down endurance marathon which actually saw the Brooklyn media strumpet take breaks to drink water and empty his bladder. According to the BBC, Blaine told US TV …
...is this ass? I thought he was an illusionist. It's not an "illusion" to do any of the dumbass stunts he's been doing. Granted, it's an illusion that he's any good at anything other than being a media whore the likes of which make Paris seem like Mother Theresa.
Maybe he should try to survive 10 days inside a sensory deprivation tank. During those 10 days I suggest we encase it in concrete and bury it.
Paris, because even she feels sorry for him.
They told us that hanging upside down for 60 hours wasn't humanly possible.
But he decided he'd do it anyway.
They they told him he would DIE.
So he decided he wouldn't.
But he couldn't cancel, so he pretended that doing something he knew wouldn't kill him was death-defying.
Woo. Brave.
I have to say that I got dangled upside down from a fubar'd fairground ride with about 30 others in a most unfortunate accident some years ago, and that was only for an hour but I couldn't walk straight or think straight for a week. So it is a feat, I'd say.
I kind of like Blaine. I approve of crazy shit for the sake of crazy shit.
After all, he could have just done a Criss Angel, hired a crowd of actors to stand in for the public, then carried out the entire stunt through the magic of CGI.
I know Blaine cheats a bit with some of his tricks and there's been some creative use of editing in the past, but I've not noticed any outright CGI so far. But you can't really complain too much - the whole point of magic tricks is that they're *tricks*, and you don't really do the things you claim.
Though when people can see what you're up to and you just outright lie it sort of defeats the object...
Still think he's an idiot doing this kind of thing.
Flames, because it would have been much more entertaining if he'd been strung up over a bonfire.
Wasn't the deal supposed to be that he would piss through a catheter and drink through a straw while he was up there? So why the need for de- and re- hydration breaks at all? No don't answer that. It's because he's an attention seeking, fraudster.
* Which is about as long as that c*nt Blaine managed to hang on for.
Why don't they get those people that go into schools and shoot kids just come and use him as target practice instead. Then everyone would be happy - less dead kids and the shooter wouldn't even have to turn the gun on himself afterwards because everyone would be grateful.
Twat! (The "magician", not the gunman) P.S. I'm not in favour of guns.
I did like the word Twatdangle though ;-)
The blaine in a box thing just proves that London is full of the following:
-tourists, who would have gone to see it because they thought it was something "Good",
-media whores who were hoping to be filmed in the crowd so they could fill their otherwise empty lives by telling everyone they meet that they'd been on the telly,
-and people so isolated in the endless drudge of their otherwise pointless existence that going to see someone with an even more pointless existence than theirs made them feel slightly better about it all for a few minutes before going back to their cold empty flat and drinking themselves to sleep in front of Sex in the City
Oh, and some people might have gone in the hope that he didn't survive the ordeal. One can hope after all.
Searching for a destiny that's mine
there's another place another time.
Touching many hearts along the way
yeah
Hoping that I'll never have to say
It's just an illusion - illusion - illusion. (interspersed with - ooh ooh ooh ooh ah, If you wish to be precise).
A classic song by Imagination.
The guy clearly had a rush of blood to the head and thought this was a good idea. He clearly under-estimated what a complete cock people think he is.
I'm annoyed I posted anonymously before, because now you don't know which post I'm following up on (well aside from El Reg, the ISP, GCHQ and the FBI, but who's logging anyway - {I probably shouldn't have put those abbreviations just there}).
Anyway, I think that the Twatdangler word and its assciated variants should be in the dictionary as they are brilliant. I also think that they should not be associated with the original upside down w*nker just for extra publicity - what a great CV anyway - yeah I can survive in a box for a bit and pee upside down. So can many tramps!! Hello!!! Sod the censorship, lets do that kids rhyming game:
My first is a W
My rest is in Anchor
As it happens it also rhymes with Twatdangler
[See next week when I can probably find something to rhyme with "Stunt"]
"At the end of the first day I thought I wasn't going to make it. I didn't know what I was going to do, but I didn't want to disappoint everybody, so I kept pushing and going as hard as I could."
Should have maybe reconsidered that vindaloo prior to the event then.
Now where the feck's my gas mask?
I don't know if you saw the footage on youtube or elsewhere but when he 'amazingly disappeared into the sky' and was actually just dangling in the darkness like a cheap angel Gabriel in a school nativity whilst the crowd were booing and jeering him..well, it was funny how even the live broadcast managed to keep playing crowd sounds from earlier (before they were shouting 'YOU SUCK!' and booing). I'm not saying I expected him to really disappear but he's the friggin' illusionist right? surely he can do better than to 'disappear' by being dragged into a dark area on the end of some cables?
Paul Daniels would have done a better job!
He really deserves the twatdangle name and I think it should go into the next revision of the Oxford dictionary with his special appearance in the definition.
Only Paris will do...
