Planet Baywatch: The Unofficial Guide to the New World Order
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
The thesis of Planet Baywatch is that Baywatch is not a part of culture ... rather, it is culture. To prepare us for the New World Order of Baywatch, the authors tease out the major motifs of David Hasselhof's universe, most importantly that all fat people and those without all-over tans are Evil. Also noted are the bizarre preponderance of midgets, the sad fate that awaits those who answer C. J.'s siren call, and the many subtle variations on the Slow Motion Montage. But don't think that all this heavy hermeneutic analysis precludes discussion of Baywatch's greatest asset: breasts. A whole chapter is dedicated to this unnatural topic. Indeed, one only wishes that there was more text in this slim (128 pages) volume. Many questions are asked and left unanswered, such as is C. J. a cyborg? How flabby does David Hasselhof have to get before he stops appearing shirtless? And why all the midgets?
