Bluetooth is Hasselhoff-erific!
According to un-named sources, the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) has hired the hirsute heartthrob David Hasselhoff to be a sort of Bluetooth Ambassador to Germany. I'm not sure if this means that Germans hate bluetooth, or if the Bluetooth SIG hates Germans. Either way you look at it, Mr. Hasselhoff is a force to be reckoned with in Germany, where he has conquered the Schmaltz Rock charts and opened a chain of restaurants called "Hasselhoff's WaffleHof". Sadly, one of those statements is true.
In other Hasselhoff news, it turns out that the rapper Ice-T is a neighbor of Mr. Hasselhoff, and has apparently convinced him to try his hand at rapping: "He's gonna come out as Hassle the Hoff. The Hoff will surprise people with his rap skills and humour." Do I smell a Bluetooth Rap coming our way from The Hoff...?
Oh, and some guy is selling K.I.T.T. from Knight Rider on eBay, so if you get excited about $40,000 cars with 2 gallon gas tanks, this might just be your lucky day. :mrgreen: Happy Friday!

I SWEAR!

Well, you can't argue with their logic. Germans love David Hasselhoff. karinatwork just must not be German.

Oh yay. :lol:
Hasselhoff's Bluetooth Address To the German Peoples:
"Bloo-toose iss goot, yah? Every-vun vill haf zee big Bloo in zehr fones oont Pocket Pay Sayes! Yoo vill all trade in yohr toys for vuns vit Bloo-toose - yoo vill obey NOW or yoo vill all be KRUSHED like zee svine-hoonts zat yoo all are! Yah!"
(I'm mostly German so I can make fun of my own!)
By the way, that "news" about Ice T putting together a rap album for Hasselhoff is a bunch o' bunk. Ice T was on Conan O'Brien one night and laid that rumor to rest.

I would like to state for the record that I am ONLY the source for the KITT car on eBay. And a friend sent me the link, I wasn't spending all day on eBay looking for crazy stuff.
:P

Yes, I won the car! :lol: I remember watching that show on Sunday nights on NBC before going to bed for school the next day. Damn I feel old now...
Anyway, I read that about Ice-T as well. I can't believe it. But hey, if he is so popular in Europe for singing, why not rap too. North Americans joke about it, but many celebrities still make a good living off marketing themselves in other countries.

*yawn* Yes, this was funny ten years ago. But no, he's not "popular" here. :roll:
This is a urban legend perpetuated by American late night shows.
