Snow Globe Boy Seeking World Record
Ben Eckerson, a 24-year-old production coordinator at McKinney advertising agency in Durham, N.C., has been spending much of the past several days sitting inside a giant inflatable snow globe. As of Friday morning, Eckerson had been in the globe for nearly three full days.
Eckerson's snow globe adventure is being shown live, 24-hours per day, 7 days peer week through a webcam at snowglobeboy.mckinney.com. According to the site, he is hoping to set a world record for time spent in such a spot, and hopes to spread some holiday cheer.
He has been spending all but 51 minutes per day inside the snow globe, and utilizes those minutes away to take care of personal needs. All of his meals are delivered to him inside the snow globe, which is located inside the McKinney headquarters building.
Eckerson also has a number of items in the snowglobe to keep himself entertained, including a Playstation, exercise equipment, games, and paper towels.
The idea initially behind the snow globe was to send out a different, creative, yet green holiday card this year, and so the agency came up with the snow globe idea - sending out digital cards through the website. The idea quickly snowballed, and "Snow Globe Boy" became an internet phenomenon.
He says has hes received so many emails since entering the snow globe that he can't even respond to them all. Eckerson plans to leave the globe Friday to attend the company's holiday party.

Stupid... very stupid
All I can do is shake my head. Warhol was right about the 15 minutes of fame. The only thing he forgot to mention is that the majority of those that have the spotlight for the 15 minutes, will have the lifetime banner of idiot.
Regardless of him wanting to "spread some holiday cheer" and trying to set a world record, the real record he will set is for the idiot who spent X amount of hours in an inflatable snow globe. A banner, I am sure he will proudly wear.
Your future children will be so proud to know that their dad was a moron and was in a snow globe. Wait till the other kids at school find out about it... talk about being black-balled at school. "Hey, Timmy's dad was the idiot in the snow globe!" Way to go, Ben!
"...exercise equipment,
"...exercise equipment, games, and paper towels" why does he need paper towels? is that so he can jack off while ppl are watching on the webcam?
chill out
If Ben wants to sit in a snow globe for days, that's his choice. I doubt he's done anything wrong to you, and he's probably a nice, smart guy. Evidently you weren't his intended audience. I hope you all find holiday cheer somewhere. Happy holidays.
See, this is what happens
See, this is what happens when you let obnoxious 14 year olds onto the internet, they go around saying everything is gay and stupid.
You wanna label this guy as an idiot? Go right ahead, but you know what? He's getting paid to be in there. When he gets out, he'll have made more money in three days than your mommies and daddies give you in allowance in several years.
But at least he's doing it for some holiday cheer. Unlike those morons on Survivor, or American Idol, or whatever other reality TV show you want to name.
Toilet?
Is there a toilet behind that tree?
May the Lord bless you all
May the Lord bless you all with every joy and happiness this Christmas and throughout the new year! Merry Christmas, everyone!!
