According to this, David Arquette is going to hang out in a plexiglass box suspended above Madison Square Garden in NYC in order to raise 250k for the charity Feeding America. He’s going to be in the box for eight hours on two consecutive days. He will get to eat during the eight hour stints. He’ll probably have reading material too. Maybe even wireless.
I don’t know about you guys, but I don’t get how this is going to raise money. Like – who CARES that David Arquette is going to hang out in a box for two days? That’s not something that really inspires me to want to donate money. That’s vacation, is what that is. I would use that time in a box to have a nice nap and catch up on some reading.
I mean, I know I made fun of Mia Farrow for fasting for Darfur, but now that I can compare these two fundraising initiatives, I’ll at least give Mia credit for having a bit more skin in the game.
There’s things David Arquette could do to make this more fundraisy. For example, he could live in the plexiglass box with Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag for two days. With Heidi Montag’s “music” playing on a continuous loop. THEN maybe people would be inspired to give to the cause.
Get some skin in the game, David.
P.S. Don't forget! County/State Fair photo contest going on RIGHT NOW! See here for details: FAIR CONTEST!
It’s bee hot and sunny here in NYC lately. I hope he doesn’t roast in that box. Maybe roast of David Arquette will cure hunger?
what about if he has to go potty?
and how much is it costing to suspend a plexiglass box over madison square garden? cant they start by giving THAT money to feed people?!
Lame. It inspires me to throw eggs at the box while he’s in it.
lol. mickey, my thoughts too….’cept i was thinking stones.
Mikey, that’s the sad thing about David Arquette. Of all the Arquettes, he’s the least interesting, and – meh – not worth the waste of eggs or arm swing.
David Blaine, when he did the gig in London for his own dandification, was another story. What a twit.
But best bet, for hunger, a nice bland boy like David Arquette should just write a check.
I hang out in a box for eight hours a day. Five days a week. ALL YEAR LONG! It has yet to have a great impact on the world. It just keeps my mortgage company happy.
I’ve got a big box of who gives a crap for David to sit in.
I’d rather listen to someone that has first hand experience with the cause than some self-important celebrity.
