Self-Imposed Bathroom Exile

Mark Malkoff is Living in His Bathroom for Five Days

Known for his outrageous stunts, Mark Malkoff is at it once again and will be living in his bathroom for the next five days. Although seemingly extreme, this isn't the first time he has taken up residence in an atypical place.

Malkoff will be living in his bathroom in an attempt to cleanse himself of his dependence on technology. This is definitely a ballsy move, as Malkoff's bathroom is apparently "smaller than the average U.S. prison cell."
