i don't get it - i don't know the story - why are people doing such stupid things like throwing eggs on David Blaine's house ? if he wants to fast, that's his choice. Why are they pissing him off ? Is it some political or religious decision ?

it's not his house. He has suspended himself by the Tower Bridge, in a glass case, and he is going to spend 40 days in it without any food (and a few diapers.)

I think it's disgusting... is he going to give the money he makes to people who are actually starving in this world? I don't mean to sound so moralistic, but I don't see the magic in this act... I thought he was a magician, someone who was going to entertain people... now he's become this weird media hungry person...

The English don't buy into it and they are giving him a rough time.

what money is he making ? do people pay him for this ? and what's the point ? after 40 days, what will he do ?

exactly! i can't see the point aswell... people go there and he's lying in the box, covered by his duvet, looking bored. It doesn't even work as a piece of art.
