He's just hanging around ...

blaine.jpgHow is it that whenever David Blaine hangs around in public places he gets support from all directions and yet when George Michael hangs out in public he gets arrested?

Once again the world's most pointless "entertainer" is THRILLING American audiences by hanging upside down for 60 hours, peeing through a tube and eating nothing. By all accounts, the stunt is so dangerous he may go blind - strong stuff indeed and liable to net Blaine a tidy sum for the TV rights.

It struck me this morning that I should try something similar so, to the adoration of all in the office I am about to embark on a physical challenge of my own.

Yes! On Thursday, after several hours of lacklustre preparation I will sit on my fat, hairy arse for TWO HOURS, without moving. During this incredible feat of endurance I will pee through the hole in my trouser leg and eat only with my hands and the hole in my face. Doctors have warned me I may suffer calluses or even pins and needles but I will struggle bravely on through adversity..

So, by now you're probably scoffing at my efforts but ... really ... which stunt has more net worth? Blaine's hanging upside-down and possibly destroying his own life, or me sitting mostly upright and eating crisps - who's the pillock here??

To be fair, he gets a lot more money than me but for what, and does anyone care?

Mr Blaine, stop hanging upside down. Stop being a publicity whore. Start being entertaining or bugger off and leave us all alone..

Anyways, back to my preparations, the arse-groove in this seat won't create itself you know ...   

... and this week's award ...

dreams.png... for the most unfortunate double entendre goes to Play.com who've used top children's TV presenters Fearne Cotton and Holly Willoughby to advertise a range of gaming titles for young girls who own Nintendo DS consoles.

However, I suspect the vast majority of the male population of the country would interpret "Living their dreams with Fearne and Holly" in a slightly different way to the intention, namely to spend your days tending to virtual horses, feeding virtual babies and designing virtual wardrobes full of virtual clothes .. unless they were virtual nurses outfits of course ...
