This Guy’s Left Man-Teat Has More Courage Than 100 David Blaines
Last week, David Blaine's hanging-upside-down-except-when-he's-not-hanging-upside-down stunt ended in total disappointment because of "high winds." Well, I'm sure it was really dangerous and stuff, but honestly, I'm sick of David Blaine's excuses. Especially when I see this guy:
Meet Clive Lotah. He's 73.
Here is balancing on a swaying pole - without a harness, ropes, or nets - 73 feet in the air. Why 73 feet in the air? Because he's seventy-f*cking-three. How's that taste, Blaine?

David Blaine Fail
At the end of David Blaine’s 60 hours upside down with hourly breaks right side up, he did a “dive of death” where he was supposed to jump off the scaffolding and disappear.
As you can see here, the trick involved a bungee cord and some huge balloons. Yo Dave, who cut off your balls?

You Can Make It Up: David Blaine Prepares His Next Illusion
David Blaine could barely make out his own face in the fogged up mirror of his marble bathroom. The air was scented with lavender and his slippers were soft. He set down the razor. It was foolish to think he could keep up the painstakingly manicured facial hair that required twice daily maintenance with a mirror so fogged up. He would have his soak and then he would trim his facial hair with the attentiveness usually reserved for lovers.

David Blaine Talks About his Terrible Stunt
If you saw David Blaine's stunt, you know just how bad it was. He basically hung upside down for a while and then took a 15 minute break on a platform bigger than some people's bedrooms. Turns out the "Dive of Death" at the end was supposed to be different, but George Bush ruined it:
It's about time Bush does something right. His approval ratings should get a bump from this. Watching a [...]
David Blaine Admits He Kinda Sucks
Magical tool David Blaine is pulling every excuse out of thin air for his failed stunt Wednesday night. First it was George W. Bush's fault (well, everything is, really). Now it's Mother Nature's fault, because she had the audacity to ruin his plans for "the most amazing ending for a stunt ever" (his words, not ours) with high winds.
Blaine said his grand finale of diving from a platform 44 feet to the ground while attached to a harness didn't go according to plan. He was supp
David Blaine finishes his latest stunt… 60 Hours in the Air!
AP - NEW YORK — Magician-daredevil David Blaine has safely finished his latest stunt: hanging upside-down without a net high over Central Park for 60 hours. Oh, he’s caught a bullet in his mouth, too.
The endurance artist began dangling from a wire over a park skating rink on Monday. He kept smiling while describing the “enormous push of blood” that made it feel as though his head was “about to explode.” He celebrated the completion of the wire act Wednesday night b

Video Premiere: All That Remains Die For ‘Two Weeks’
Of all the obstacles All That Remains have overcome — multiple lineup shifts, metalcore typecasting, accusations of being Christian rock — dying, then rocking from beyond the grave might have been their greatest challenge.
In the band’s new video for “Two Weeks,” the band perish in a plan crash, yet retain the fortitude to reach out to a girl through a television set and rock the heavens so hard they seem to reappear on earth. Let’s see David Blaine pull that off. Click
5 David Blaine Stunts Lamer Than “Dive Of Death”
David Blaine rolled a lot of eyes last week when he suspended himself upside-down for three straight days except when he was taking frequent breaks and turning upright, followed by an anti-climactic finale called the “Dive of Death,” which was neither.
Before we rush to judge Blaine’s apparent regression into lameness/irrelevance, I’ll remind you that the stunt could’ve been a LOT crappier. If he wants to continue moving backwards, here are five ideas for even less impressive

Nation Pleads With David Blaine To Do Actual Magic
David Blaine completed his 60 hours of hanging upside down last night, except that he basically cheated the whole time and pissed fans off. Not only did he take multiple breaks during his stunt, but the “death dive” at the end was just him jumping a few feet while attached to a harness. He was then lifted into some dark area of Central Park and probably swarmed by his medical team and personal assistants. Blaine spoke today and is apparently not happy with his latest “trick” (not his

David Blaine down on hanging upside down
Now that the magician has both feet on the ground and the blood has redistributed throughout his body, he's having regrets about his latest feat: hanging upside down for 60 hours, peeing through a catheter.
"I had dreamed up the most amazing ending for a stunt ever," he said during an interview on Live with Regis and Kelly. "I know that it didn't work right when all my friends called up and said, `Wait, what happened? I'm confused.'"
Although he completed his 60-hour shift, his land

David Blaine’s Dive of Death’ Did He Die?
While it was slightly delayed due to President Bush’s address on the current financial crisis, ABC’s much-hyped two-hour David Blaine special still proved to be a dud with only 7.7 million viewers, according to overnight ratings. David Blaine’s Dive of Death (pictured) lost more than half of its Dancing With the Stars lead-in audience (15.6 million). The illusionist could not compete with CBS’ Criminal Minds which won the 9-10 p.m. hour with 15.1 million, up 19 percent from last year

David Blaine survives 'dive of death'
David Blaine's "Dive of Death" didn't live up to its name - the magician and showman ended up alive after his 60-hour Batman-inspired stunt of hanging upside down in Central Park.
Blaine, 35, had dangled from a cable attached to a large scaffold structure built high over the park's Wollman Rink since Monday, except for regular breaks for water and medical checks during which he was upright for periods of a few to several minutes each.
The spectacle ended during a nationally tel
