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...

Are The Kids Really Alrite?




So I went to Berlin on holiday last year and I came across these weird kids. I remember seeing them whilst sitting by the Alexanderplatz fountain with a 1 litre bottle of pineapple juice and a bag of paprika flavoured crisps, desperately trying to cure my hangover from the previous night. At this very painful moment these stomping retards were showing of their "skills" outside McDonalds, seems like prepubescent teens gathering outside shitty fast food restaurants is a global phenomenon... Anyway it was in the middle of the afternoon on a Saturday and these kids appeared to be absolutely sober and drug free, which is quite amazing considering how brain damaged they looked.

So I think they call the genre Shuffle, it's kinda like minimal tech crossed with Scooter, whilst the fashion style is sort of chav meets mid 90s hip-hop. I can't see this catching on anywhere else because it is simply put, shit. Although it's fucking hilarious to watch, like watching man sized pigeons having an epileptic fit. If this sounds appealing to you and you're in Berlin then go on down to Alexanderplatz during the weekend for some free afternoon entertainment.


UPDATE

Seems Shufflers like to remove their work of youtube so here's some more crazy shuffle crap.
