The Guardian celebrates Londoners participating in round-the-clock mocking of magician-turned-performance-artist David Blaine, who has started a public stunt of sitting in a transparent, suspended box in public view near the Thames for several weeks while (so he claims) receiving no food.
When, laboriously, Blaine wraps a sheet round himself and makes as if to wee into a hidden tube, there are uproarious shouts of, "He's having a piss!"; then, "He can't still be having a piss"; then, "No - he's wanking!"; then - after the business is seemingly complete - hearty cheers and applause.

One the one hand I always like interesting stunts, but on the other I have little respect for self-aggrandizing blowhards, and so: Yay.

Also, watch out for Death-Ray Jesus. (Both links shwiped from Gaiman's blog.)

I don't know how long I'll keep THAT icon... I'm probably going to hell already because of it.

And since I just saw the South Park Blaine cult thing, it makes this whole thing that much funnier.
