Hasselhoff is God!

Ladies and gentlemen I'm considering trying my hand at writing a book or magazine article(s) educating folk on all things web design including standards, accessibility, PHP, DOM, Javascript, etc. etc. and in an attempt to demonstrate examples of these techniques in a practical way I'm building a fictional fan club website, currently named "Hasselhoff is God", partly dedicated to (you guessed it) The Hoff himself. An early preview (in alpha version of course ;) ) can be seen at www.hasselhoffisgod.com.

My only hang up is what would The Hoff say? Would he like it? Loath it? Would I get taken to court and sued, or recieve a free signed music album and other goodies through the post? Perhaps you could provide some feedback on this situation because im just not sure!

    Love it, especially the dialogue bubbles as you mouse over the menus. I like the idea of the fan club - it's an original idea. Can't wait to see how it turns out...and I'm sure that a bunch of fans of the Hoff are going to be sailing through your site - don't disappoint them!

    All indications are that the URL alone will get you the Hasselhoff seal of approval.

    Dude, that URL is classic. I would hold onto that bad boy either way. Best of luck. :)

    Ditto to what P.J. Onori said. Even if you dont use the URL or write the book, hold onto the address :)
