Right, lets make this absolutely clear... David Blaine is a twat!This stunt of his is entirely pointless, beyond self promotion... and frankly, I don't see that starving himself to gain recognition is much of an achievment.
He's not broken any records, to the point that the Guinness Book Of Records snubbed him completely. People have gone much longer without food, ie people in prison on hunger strike. People have been in isotaion for much longer... POW's and political prisoners.
He's not performing any impressive feat of magic or illusion. It's entirely pointless.
The media, particularly american media, has made some note of the antipathy towards Blaine by the english public, seemingly unable to understand our dislike of him.
Let me put it in very simple terms, for those who don't understand. The Brits don't like a showoff... and that's all he is.
"Hey everybody, look at me. I'm not eating. Aren't I clever?"
Well, actually, no. Mr Blaine, you are a twat.
I for one will be very glad when I don't have to see extremely dull images of some unwashed pillock sitting in a perspex box doing nothing, while making himself ill. If there's one thing I don't understand about the whole thing, it's how anyone with half a brain can not see him for the complete waste of time that he is.
