Crazy things people do for attention

PROMOTING brands and selling products are not the only reasons people pull “crazy” stunts. Some do it to raise awareness on social issues – think Peta and their nude celebrity campaigns or environmental group Greenpeace with their sometimes dangerous “direct actions” like blocking whaling ships and breaking into power stations.

Then there are some individuals who make a spectacle of themselves to hype up their image: you might have heard of magician David Blaine and Paris somebody.
