Actor David Arquette plans to “live” in a Plexiglass box above New York City's Madison Square Garden marquee with the goal of raising $250,000 for the nation’s largest hunger relief charity. Feeding America, formerly known as America’s Second Harvest, works with food banks across the country to help stamp out hunger.
The 37-year old husband of Courtney Cox Arquette plans to stay in the box next Tuesday and Wednesday for about eight hours each day.
While the gesture is truly praise worthy, I hardly call eight hours in Plexiglass living. More like making a spectacle of yourself. What I want to know is how he plans to make the stunt interesting enough to raise a quarter of a million dollars in forty-eight hours. Dress in a leotard and dance to “Single Ladies?” Sing Michael Jackson tribute songs? Have a sudden attack of gas and be forced to cope with it?
I sure hope this box has a lot of air holes.
Maybe Arquette should offer to do anything within reason and charge for it. Like the Heartgard dog, but with a price tag.
