David Blaine Survives 17 Minutes Underwater

Unfortunately

David Blaine successfully broke the world record for breath-holding, staying underwater for 17 minutes and 4.4 seconds on today's episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show. The first part is slightly boring, unless of course you enjoy staring at someone's lifeless body floating underwater in total silence. Once he triumphantly emerges, he discusses the fact that his heart started beating irregularly, but all he could think about was breaking the record. The audience claps approvingly, much like the stupid Moment of Truth viewers who applaud stupid people doing stupid things for money and/or attention.

I'm going to have to hunt down a Marcus Brigstocke rant on David Blaine now. He expresses how I feel about Blaine better than I ever could myself.
