Apparently, Im not the only cynic around.

I couldnt have said it better myself.

(In the last 24 hours, Ive received at least four press releases about the event.)

Meanwhile, the stuntman was not hanging.

And it was time for the doctorson hand to check his vital signs.

So there he was: standing upright,drinking bottled water.

One guy on his lunch break said to his friend,Dude gets water breaks?

while another man nearby said, Itdoesnt count [if he isnt doing it continuously].

I could do that.

Finally, after 15 minutes or so, Blaine went back to being upside-down.

There wasnt much to see.

One young woman standing next to me was justas perplexed: Hes just going to hang there?

Im paraphrasing here, but this is basically what he said: David is doing very well.

His vital signs are stable.This is an incredible feat for the body.

Dont underestimate what hesdoing.

He was sort of sluggish last night.

He has to urinate againstgravity, which is not good for the kidneys.You dont say.

Simply put, this stunt is notmotivated by passion.

Hedid not alert the press.

He just did it a true stunt, andfor those who saw it, a magical one at that.
