Why Fordham University Loves David Hasselhoff

By mario ⋅ April 5, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

There has been an interesting development following my Why Deutschland Loves David Hasselhoff presentation at Ignite Portland. About a week following the event, the friendly folks at Fordham University asked to use the presentation for teaching purposes in their German curriculum. Below is the very nice, and very funny, thank you letter I received from the German teacher who contacted me. I hope you recognize the sarcasm. Click on the image below to read the letter.

  1. That is so awesome! :-) Congrats!

    And, uh, what’s a “hundebaby”? Or do I not want to know? ;-)

  2. Hundebaby is actually the very uncuddly German way of saying “puppy.”

  3. I know you Germans have your own take on David Hasselhoff, but you are missing the significance he has here. He is our emotional benchmark and our inspiration. This was no more clearly demonstrated than is his brief but critical cameo on the American Idol finale.
