Yahoo! Buzz Digg Newsvine Reddit FacebookWhat's this?NEW YORK (AP) — David Arquette is going to sleep in a box in New York City to raise money for the hungry.
The 37-year-old actor is staying 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.
Donations can come through text messages, on site and 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.

A two-day stay in a clear plexiglass container atop Madison Square Garden in the heart of Manhattan in mid-July!?! It's gonna be like 100° F+ in there!

I'm thinking either that box is gonna be considerably more luxurious (i.e. air conditioned) than the cardboard crates the homeless sleep in, or Arquette plans on being slowly sun roasted before all of New York City.

The $2500 Japanese luxury toilet with built-in bidet, of course!

I tease, but he's doing this with good intent. Kudos to him.

how u gonna draw attention to hunger and then eat?

Fury said:

I guess that's a pretty interesting point.

I think David Arquette is hot.

johnart said:

Me too. He's offbeat sexy, and I like that.

And that nose and he's furry.

You just named two of my favorite things about a man.

johnart said:

I agree with you. I'm glad Courtney helped get him clean.

idea:


skip the idiotic stunt and donate $250,000 of your wife's Friends money instead of calling attention to YOURSELF.
