So David Blaine is doing a new "stunt"
where he stands in a suit of chain mail and the internet can zap him for three days. Or play him music or something.

www.guardian.co.uk/stage/shortcuts/2012/oct/02/david-blaine-electrified-chance-of-surviving

What a prick eh? Who wants to start an internet campaign of just getting him to hear Gangham style non stop for three days or something?

Alt: Shut up.
