It's hard to imagine a more volatile, horrifying, videotaped public crisis than that which accompanied last month's G20 summit in Toronto. But where the imagination fails, David Hasselhoff never does.
Journey via YouTube to sunny San Diego, where a perfectly good Comic-Con Friday was leveled by the hype tsunami surrounding the Hoff's new A&E series, The Hasselhoffs. The Gaslamp Quarter will never be the same. But don't take my word for it: There were witnesses. See their heartbreaking video records below.
1. "What, is that f*ckin' Hasselhoff?"
From the gonzo crew at FilmDrunk, which also offered up this first-hand summary of events: "David Hasselhoff and a cadre of sluts dance and bop their way through the rough and tumble streets of San Diego during Comic-Con. He even sung some of his songs, which is considered a hate crime in 40 states." Wish you were here! [via Vulture]
2. The big picture
For the epic scale of how it looks and sounds when geeks, swag, dancing Baywatch lifeguards, fake Germans, KITT, a party bus, horrible pop music, Hoff impersonators and the Hoff himself collide, I give you the work of "beatjunkee22."
3. The quick and dirty version
Some 'Con-goers, like "johninav," thought the whole event was more befitting of a Blair Witch kind of approach. It's as reasonable a stylistic choice as any, let's face it.
4. Keeping a distance
Some people, like eyewitness "luciphercolors," know better than to get to close when certain dangerous phenomena like a Hofficane (a Tornadoff?) approach. This is will be on the National Geographic channel someday.
5. Surveying the damage
"F90bird" bravely picked through the ravages of autographed glossy photos and Hoff-head fans. I haven't seen anyone so hungrily consume something found on the ground since... er, never mind.
