The David Blaine Game....

Shoot the b*gg*r...

I really don\'t think of it as \'going out there to taunt him\'...I feel more that he has come here to irritate us.

He\'s suspended himself ina see-thru box over one of the busiest parts of London. To my mind that\'s like covering yourself in jam and chucking bricks at a wasps nest...(to quote myself from a previous post).

If he was doing something faintly interesting, or even raising money for charity, I am sure he would get a slightly warmer response.

Personally, I think there are enough starving people in the world already who have no choice over their situation . Do we really need an egomaniac millionaire imitating their plight in order to get himself even more publicity and even more money...?

Where\'s my gun....:D

Absolutely right! The whole thing about this self seeking, self publicising, gimmick monger turns me off! It\'s not entertainment , it\'s not educational, it\'s not a protest, it\'s just \"Look at me Look at me!\" Those people who are going out to taunt him are no better either because there are some who will feel sorry for the prat!
Me, I enjoyed the game cos it was a good way of shooting the git without wasting ammunition.lol

Must be the \"friendly Canadian\" blood in me, but I have no hostility for him nor does it really bother me. In fact Im vaguely curious to see if he can pull it off. That would include if I drove past him every day. Totally irrelevant to me if he wants to try this type of physical endurance test.

And his other \"real\" magic, like the card tricks he does, is great stuff - so I admire his skill in that regard.

More power to him. Live and let live I say.

Amusements

The Blaine thing was fairly amusing (if not violent and definitely not politically correct). The cheese animation posted by DennisMech is pretty good, too.

I personally love Weebls-stuff. Right now, possibly the most addictive and strangely hypnotic thing I\'ve seen on the web is from him. And, because I\'m an evil bastage, I\'m going to share it with all of you so that it can be stuck in your heads, too. ;)

Maybe this would make good background music while painting? lol

More good stuff.....

More funstuff than you can shake a stick at at:

NOT for the faint hearted or easily offended:D Don\'t access this site in school! (If anyone\'s looking).

As for the Flash games I think \'F*ckeroo\' is my favourite:D

Sorry Jarrett, but IMO it\'s not an \'endurance test\' it\'s an intrusive, offensive publicity stunt that he has shoved in our faces. It may be the \"aggressive English\" blood that flows in my veins but I\'d be happy if they just left him up there until he croaked.:D

I\'d be bloody ecstatic if they shoved Uri Geller and Paul Daniels in there with himlol:bouncy:

Well, Im far more offended (and disturbed) by a person who makes a game about shooting a particular individual (as opposed to some sort of \"shoot the generic bad person\" game) than I am by the individual being shot at in this particular case. Even if it\'s presented in a cartoony fashion. Bad taste imo.

BUT

To each their own! Wouldn\'t be much fun if we all agreed all the time, would it?

Wouldn\'t dream of falling out with anybody over something as trivial as this. Especially a certain gifted someone whose brains I might well want to pick at some point in the future:D

Cool :D


(I realize what he\'s doing is pretty goofy. I just don\'t like \"real violence\" and don\'t want to see him actually get hurt by anyone who gets carried away - or is just generally out of their mind. Too much of that in the world these days. Rather see really bad, evil and criminal people get hurt. That\'s a good thing.)

ROFL!!!

That is fantastic, I\'ve always liked the kittens. Does anyone know if the dancing hamsters are still around? That song still go\'s round my head :D

It was really nice to see his head explode:D
Happy to oblige... that game has seen me through many a boring evening so I figured I might as well point it out for all of us to enjoy.

By the way, in level 2 click his glowing bracelet for extra fun :D

Wow, that was fun.

But the head didn\'t explode for me! I feel cheated. He just fell down and died.

I am no fan of violence, but I\'m also no fan of David Blane. I used to be. I watched all of his shows, the one where he made the card appear in the police officer\'s shoe, and then there was one where he \"magically\" had some chick\'s boyfriend\'s name appear on his chest in ashes. Then I learned that the majority of his \"tricks\" are of the photography kind. That is to say, trick photography. I was disappointed.

Oh well, it is magic, afterall.

Think of the children....!

Oh good grief what have I started here ?!?! Sorry if I\'ve upset you Shroud - wasn\'t my intention to make anyone feel bad about this :( I too like DB, with his usual magic stuff, but this stunt he\'s pulling now, is just too OTT. Thank goodness he didn\'t do his \'ice\' trick here - the brits would\'ve been out with flame throwers lol

I love all the other links BTW - some really funny stuff. Thanks!

If you want to watch something else funny, then check out KillerBean. The link below will take you to the file for download. It\'s a great piece of animation and just damn funny to boot.

Enjoy!

Lacking a flamethrower, at least one I can admit to, I would at least have lit a candle..:D

part of the act?

Some of my friends and I discussed whether much of the \"taunting\" Blaine has gotten was all part of the act, to make it seem so much more impossible.

I stick to my theory that it is possible he isn\'t even really in there.....

Is he still there by the way??

???

Actually...

..Someone was found guilty today for criminal damage to his \'tank\'. Apparently he had climbed scaffolding nearby \'to get a better view\' and then had thrown a water bottle he was carrying at the tank which had disconnected the water supply.

Unfortunately someone fixed it later on:D
