Alright, today I must once again consult Wikipedia for some fun and interesting material about my current target in today's strip "And So Nobody Cared". Today's source of satire is David Blaine. Many people remember Blaine for his famous stunts of "staying alive in a box of some sort". The most famous of these is the time he was suspended in a glass box over London. What made this such a special event was not the fact that he survived 44 days only on water in a glass box suspended up in the sky, but the ways in which people attempted to aggravate him during his trick.

Newspapers reported that eggs, lemons, sausages, bacon, water bottles, beer cans, paint-filled balloons and golf balls had all been thrown at the box. One man was arrested for climbing the scaffolding supporting Blaine's box and attempting to cut the power and water supply to the box.

I can't believe someone took the effort to actually climb up on a tower just to do that. And as if this wasn't enough, some other people got a little more creative.

A hamburger was flown round the box by radio-controlled model helicopter.

Going to these sorts of lengths takes a special kind of deranged human being. As if tossing food at him wasn't enough, they have to find new technology to DANGLE food in front of him. This type of asshollery is an art and by george do the Londonders have it mastered. For as much of a douchebag as David Blaine is, these people really knew how to return it in kind.

However, I find it funny that he could be dead in a box in the middle of a high school quad for 5 months, and nobody would even do anything. Am I the only one to find this sort of callousness hilarious? Probably.

Right now it's really late, so I think I'll post my daily "bitch subject" tomorrow.
