The UK passed the David Blaine Tariff after his moronic, attention defying
stunt of being suspended in a Plexiglas box without food for 44 days in
London. A spokesman for the House of Commons said, "we needed to 'take out
the trash', so to speak", and "we were just doing our part to keep Brittan a
nice place live."
After hearing of the tariff, Mr. Blaine was so irate that he decided to
inflict his personal brand of boring upon the United States to protest of
the tariff (and the fact that people do not like him). Much like a 4 year
old vying for attention, his latest gem was to hold his breath until people
cared. Mission not accomplished.
No longer willing to be trapped in "a boring shape like a rectangular
prism", he built a sphere where he could spend a week in salt water.
Admittedly, the water was a good way to mute the taunting to which Blaine has become
accustomed. So the illusionist turned boring stunt man took his place in
the "bubble" in the middle of one of the most populous metropolises in the
world in an attempt to increase his odds that someone would care.
This stunt, like all of Blaine's stunts, only accomplished one thing,
showing more people than ever what a tool he is. His escapades seem to stem
from the most unimaginative double dares the world has ever known. The only
anticipation during his latest snoozapoloza, was that of hearing news that
something had gone wrong like the sphere sprung a leak and now David just
sits in the bottom of an empty sphere sad, lonely, and able to see and hear
the mild indifference of passing pedestrians.
Although no longer a magician, Blaine's best trick so far has been making
the truth disappear from the old adage, "there is no such thing as bad
press".
