David Arquette To Live In Plexiglass Box For Hunger

NEW YORK — David Arquette is going to live in a box in New York City to raise money for the hungry.

The 37-year-old actor plans to stay in a Plexiglas box above the Madison Square Garden marquee on Tuesday and Wednesday to raise $250,000 for Feeding America, the nation's largest domestic hunger relief charity. He'll stay in the box each day for about eight hours.

Donations can come on site or through text messages or a Facebook page set up by Mars Inc., the company that makes Snickers candy bars.

A Mars spokesman says Arquette will eat during his two-day stay in the plastic enclosure.

Arquette starred in the "Scream" movie franchise.

David Arquette deserves credit for his efforts to feed David Blaine, who's starving:

We're working on it but, seeing as how Courtney is humorless, it's taking some time.

2 days for 8 hours a day? Still eating? Please, what point is he trying to make here?

I admire his spirit but there are much more productive ways to spend 16 hours to help the hungry.

And if he dies there will anyone miss him?

Who?

Hey, Wake up! We're in a meeting.

It would mean more if he didn't eat for 2 days.

maybe so, but people are more equipped to fight for their causes when they have energy!

I admire David and that he has taken a stand at ending world hunger - a project that EST was working to have done by the year 2000 - "The Hunger Project" kind of faded away.
