David Hasselhoff partly "responsible for a lot of world peace"
This is from May 1, but consider it a classic. At the recent Bollywood Movie Awards - held in Atlantic City - Mitch Buchanan a.k.a. David Hasselhoff won the award for international star of the year.
Over to Mitch:
"I'm proud of shows like Baywatch and Knight Rider because it's about saving lives, not taking lives," he told Reuters.As everyone knows, David Hasselhoff is a Megastar in Deutschland, but what few know is his impact on the world stage: "Did David Hasselhoff really help end the Cold War?" See also "Hasselhoff ready to make Knight Rider return" for more good news.
"It's entertainment, it's tongue in cheek, it brings the world together," he said, adding that the entertainment industry was a powerful force for good in the world.
"I think it's responsible for a lot of world peace," Hasselhoff said, adding that he was hoping to work in India soon on a project based on a series of romantic novels.
"I never knew exactly how to get there. Now I've got this (award) it's like my key to India," he said.
The picture has nothing to do with the awards or Hasselhoff, it's just some eye candy from the older post "Today's news from India".
On a personal note, I met someone from the German consulate. One of her jobs was to go out to (the street outside) David Hasselhoff's house and collect her countrygirls who'd come to L.A. hoping to meet the Megastar himself and had not only been unsuccessful but had run out of Geld as well.
