OBLIGATORY YOUTUBE CLIP

DAVID BLAINE BREAKS WORLD BREATH-HOLDING RECORD

Congratulations to David Blaine, international man of beige, who has broken the world record for a person holding their breath, which in itself holds a record as being the most boring entry in the Guinness Book of Records.

Even better, David managed to do the deed live on Oprah Winfrey's show. Maybe he should be applauded for not speaking for a full 17 minutes, but surely this was the dullest TV ever for the first 16 minutes?

Judge for yourself with this clip of the final few seconds of the attempt, where the tension is almost... present. Gasp in horror as David's heart rate fluctuates along with our interest! Applaud as Oprah manages to sound almost interested! And groan as David stops at 17 minutes instead of attempting to crack the three-week mark.

		sonofadiddly on Thu 01 May 2008 said... Well personally I think that’s pretty impressive.
		teddypendennis on Thu 01 May 2008 said... Won't someone just push him out of a spaceship instead?
		strangelad on Thu 01 May 2008 said... God, he's a tedious prick isn't he? I've never seen anyone so desperate for attention (with the exception of people from reality tv shows and Kerry Katona).

		thundachick on Thu 01 May 2008 said... not just a cunt, but a ass-numbing, wank stain of a cunt.
		dearlord on Thu 01 May 2008 said... small boys threw chips at him. that's what you get trying your fancy shit in the UK, mothafucker!!
		Lilvixen on Thu 01 May 2008 said... I didn't even think that was humanly possible.
		drshipman on Thu 01 May 2008 said... he's an illusionist...
		squealer on Thu 01 May 2008 said... He must be a great laugh down the pub, the self obsessed arrogant cuntfaced cunt.
