Hasselhoff

Ok, so it's pretty clear David Hasselhoff is probably the biggest douche bag on the planet. He is insanely narcissistic and self-obsessed, writes pretty dreadful pop songs and most famously made a killing by objectifying women on mainstream TV, and the world has never looked back since. But I have to say I kinda like him, he's a funny guy even though it might not be intentional. So there's basically shit loads of Hoff-clips on the net, whether it be one of his music videos, a broadband advert or one of David and a crocodile in a jelly wrestling match. However there is one piece of footage that stands out more than any other, and that is his historic performance during the collapse of the Berlin Wall.

So imagine the scenario. Some forty odd years of separation, some families literally torn in half. Tyranny and oppression, with extensive surveillance penetrating the most private spaces of ones life. Then comes the day when the wall falls and guess who's standing on the other side? Yes my friend, The Hoff singing his number one hit 'I've been Looking for Freedom'. Haven't these poor people suffered enough? Well one (or two?) members of the crowd expressed their rage through fireworks...
