Amazon.com Review
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?
Product Description
This hilarious parody of a '90s phenomenon predicts that Baywatch may one day control the world, dictating how people talk, dress, and think. The authors examine Baywatchers and the program they worship from every angle--most notably from below Pamela Anderson Lee's impressive breast implants. Readers will discover the Zen-like wisdom of Mitch Buchanon, the moral fortitude of Stephanie Holden, and the spiritual musings of C.J.
