David Blaine Strikes Back!

I couldn't help noticing that South Park Supervillain (and the messiah of the Cult of Blaintology) David Blaine was at the top of Yahoo's "Buzz Index" today, after having just mentioned him in yesterday's post (as the arch-nemesis of the Super Best Friends). Curious about the timing, I did a quick search and turned up this news item on the Chicago Sun-Times website: "Blaine To Spend Week in Aquarium." The article explains that David Blaine plans to live underwater for seven days in front of New York's Lincoln Center next month.

This brought on a couple of revelations:

1. When Blaine squared off against the Super Best Friends in Washington, DC, he brought the statue of Abraham Lincoln to life to battle them. Coincidence? I think not.
   
2. Living underwater is obviously the best way for Blaine to protect himself from Mohammed's powers of pyrokinesis, if he is indeed preparing for a rematch.

Now, you might think that using an aquarium as his staging area would make Blaine particularly susceptible to Joseph Smith's ice powers, but you have to remember that Blaine demonstrated his immunity to freezing back in 2000 when he was encased in ice in Times Square for almost 62 hours.

The only question that remains is whether ABC will allow the David Blaine: Drowned Alive special to air unedited, or if they will censor Blaine's battle with Mohammed in order to capitulate to terrorist threats.
