David Hasselhoff, as you've never seen him before

You've seen him strutting his manly stuff in a Speedo on Baywatch, but you've never seen him like I saw him this past Saturday night.

A friend of mine bought me a ticket to see The Producers, a musical showing at a hotel/casino/resort/cesspool of sin for my birthday. So I went. And I enjoyed it. But David was, how shall we say, a little camp.

So after watching my childhood hero (remember him at Michael Knight in Knight Rider, with his super-cool car, Kitt?) swap his watch for a lifesaving buoy in Baywatch and then again for a crown and a limp wrist in The Producers, I'm left rather disappointed and disillusioned about life in general.

Don't get me wrong, he put on a good performance. But there's something about seeing my hero in a dress that just ... I don't know, can't describe it. Anyway, go out and see it for yourselves. You be the judge. But for now, MacGyver has overtaken Michael Knight as my #1 all-time childhood hero.
