For God's sake leave the man alone. Whatever way you look at it, he's putting himself in an un-desirable position for the entertainment of others. You think it's a moronic publicity stunt and have to tell everyone else? Good job there, you've just given him publicity.

Personally, I think it was great. As a christian, I know the values of being alone, meditating, and watching others, which was the main purpose of all of this, other than a stunt. I think its great, spiritually, to understand yourself more.
Ehehee, jus listened to the news, this sciencey person says that if he eats too much too fast he will die. Sorry to sound like an **** but servers him right!

He's getting a few million for this....
Obviously he hasn't obtained inner peace because he was delusional for a few days....
I personally just see it as a grotesque public peanut gallery to satisfy David Blaine's personal ego... I don't see anything spiritual about it, he sat in a f***ing box for 6 weeks and starved himself... If he wanted to obtain some new level spiritually he should have done it away from the public eye, this is just an overdrawn publicity stunt.
Since his body should be able to recover almost completely, this can be interpreted as a test of endurance. We don't think poorly of long distance runners who push themselves beyond the limits that we can obtain, so what's the reason for all the derision Blaine has received? This is akin to throwing tomatoes at marathon runners as they pass you by and is simply contemptible.

You get the occasional LIVE (*gasp!*) updates of David Blaine during the Sky One hour long commercials. They are all like: PUSH TEH RED BUTTON NOW TO SEE TEH DAVID BLAINE LIVE!
Why the hell would ANYONE want to sit there in total silence looking at david blaine sleeping in a transparent box is beyond me. Its almost as pathetic as watching late night LIVE big brother when all the contestants are fast asleep.

Another reason.
Next trick I think he should do :
How long can he endure not doing stupid stunts ! <b>Hardcore !</b>

Which, in terms of entertainment value, is roughly equal to watching Big Brother when they're wide awake. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
So, some people derive entertainment from that kind of thing.
First Ive ever heard a christian with that attitude. Ive always been told that Christianity is all about the comradory and worship...not solitude and meditation. Just my own experience tho.

We're commanded to fellowship, and help other people...not to live alone. Sounds more Buddhist (correct religion?), seeking for self realization.
