Why is David Blaine such an idiot?

It's something that's been nagging at me since his ridiculous stunt of living in that stupid glass box, without food, for 44 days. I believe it was actually titled, "Above the Below", which suggests he's an artist as well. Gah.

I don't understand him. He's not magical, he's not even fearless and cool like the Crocodile Hunter was before he sold out. He's just some guy who puts unnecessary stress on his body for shock value and fame.

If the man were smart he'd take some tips from Paris Hilton and release a few good sex tapes on the Internet to increase his celebrity. I hear he used to date Fiona Apple so I'm pretty sure people would be interested. And, if he found a really cool girl maybe he could inspire her to have sex in some weird places, like a glass box above the River Thames. That's worth a lot more than just sitting there solo, fasting like Ghandi, without a noble cause.
