Drowning Glory

So, as is the insanity of celebrity, we are now being subjected to illusionist David Blaine (more like David Lame) submerging himself in water, encased in a spherical orb outside Manhattan's Lincoln Center.
WTF? WHY? WHO CARES? He's already irritated us with his myriad of other stunts, such as climbing into a glass coffin to be buried alive or enclosing himself in a chunk of ice for 60 hours or my personal fave, hanging himself over the Thames in the UK for 44 days. Oh, how I wished the cables had given way on that one. He actually prefaced this latest asinine stunt to the public and press by stating: failure means I will drown and you all will see something pretty insane.
What's that they say about self fulfilling prophecies?
