You Can't Spell "NAMBLA" Without "NBA"

I guess that David Blaine is a Republican.

I want to take a momentary break from the Spurs-Suns hysteria to ask an important question: Did David Blaine know that he was making commercials for the National Basketball Association's playoffs when he signed up to do all these magic-themed spots? Did he mix up NBA with another acronym-ed organization? Nothing about these ads is mysterious or, uh, magical. They are weird; they freak me out. And far from an impressive illusionist, Blaine just seems like some unwashed, sneering pederast or someone's creepy, catatonic uncle who just got home from prison. I have to change the channel when Blaine comes on.

Am I wrong?
