Hey mom, if you go like this he looks upside down !

Hanging upside down for 60 hours by your ankles in Central Park sounds like a massive feat of human endurance, right? Especially when you boast you will be drinking out of a straw and urinating through a catheter. Gosh, I’d even want to see that! Unfortunately, David Blaine’s latest attempt “The Dive of Death” has left New Yorkers rightly miffed. Many who came to see the dangling human bat, discovered him standing erect and sipping from a water bottle. Seems Blaine is taking those time-out breaks far too often. Cries of cheat and a phony have been echoing through the park like a Tarzan call. One blogger wrote “This is like being on a hunger strike for 22 hours a day. You know, taking two hours off for lunch and dinner break. Oh, and coffee and snacks,” (ouch!). I thinking if he really wanted to please a New York crowd he should have taken a leaf out of Alice Newstead’s book and hung upside down from hooks! That’s what a real man would do! I am thinking when the 60 hours is up (or down) he should make like David Copperfield and disappear.

When protesting goes too far! Alice Newstead you have our attention. Now get friggin down. Alice hooked herself (through the skin) from the ceiling of a Lush shop (London) for 15 minutes to protest about the cruelty inflicted on sharks. It seems it isn’t just the Japanese we should be miffed at. Evidently, fishermen are catching sharks and then hanging them from hooks before hacking their fins off so we can chomp on them later.“I am doing this because the demand for shark fin soup and other shark products is wiping out the shark population,” said the multi pierced shark lover. The stunt was organized by Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (hmm I wonder if you have to audition to join?). Oh and yes Alice you are officially a friggin loon nominee.
