Sky One are desperately trying to summon up ANY enthusiasm in it's viewing public ahead of David Blaine being released from his box on Sunday, an ad for the event is being played several times an hour and I suspect that by tomorrow it'll be in every ad break. Blaine's camp are also doing what they can, Blaine 'suffers heart palpitations', though as he has not been examined by any doctors, due to being locked in a sodding glass box, we have no way of knowing how true this is. It does remind me of a couple of years ago when some guy was on a hunger strike for animal rights and his friends and family were talking daily of how he'd lost his sight and hearing, his internal organs were beginning to ingest themselves and he was very ill, the Government blinked and it turned out he hadn't been on hunger strike at all, all the horror stories were made up. I don't doubt that Blaine will be pretty weak, but it would be great if, five minutes before the box is due to be brought down all the crowd get bored and wander off...
