David Blaine in Salvation Army Gyroscope Stunt
Yes! You heard right....
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/6178718.stm
David Blaine - weird 'magician' who believe's he can fly and appears to have some sort of a Messiah complex, has been raising money for the SA.
2 questions here:
Is David Blaine the sort of person who is a good face for a SA fund raising campaign?
Why does the article refer to "the Salvation Army Charity" repeatedly? Is it terrible to think that Blaine would raise money for a DUH DUH DUH (brass stinger)....Church?
Discuss.

Nice one Lucy - well said.
Normally I would insist that we should be kind to our foreign neighbours - but when we're talking about the french - thats a different matter. Not really racism but more of a national hobby.
The church or charity thing is a sign of our increasingly secular society isn't it?
Think I've found my Thursday Thought :)
Good to have you on our editorial team Lucy :)
I wasn't that bothered that they were mentioning it as a charity until I realised that it looked like they were almost trying to distance the good work that was being done from any sort of 'religious nutters' (if you get what I mean).
It just smacks of people wanting teh SA to do good work, but trying to avoid the reason that we do it.
Also I erally don't like David Blaine, I think he's creepy and up his own posterior. I also think that a 'magician' (or whatever he calls himself) may be somewhat at odds with the Christian faith.
I can't type.
