David Hasselhoff doesn't get it

The first sentence in Rick Warren's book Purpose Driven Life is

"It's not about you."

This is not a concept some folks get.

Yesterday, I stumbled upon David Hasselhoff's new website and absolutely laughed until I cried. He has created a social network so that people can connect over their connection to him. (below is a direct quote from the site)

I realized that while two people from two entirely different countries and backgrounds may seem to have nothing in common, the only thing they might have in common is me... So I decided to start a network where people from across the world might come together and get a conversation started over me.

Yeah - ridiculous right? I almost signed up just to see what kind of people are going there, but then decided that would be 5 minutes of my life I could never get back.

While I really appreciated the hearty laugh yesterday, I think this narcissism is very sad. Tragically sad. And goes far far beyond "The Hoff". Probably the majority of our society is completely wrapped up in themselves.

Also, as of this morning, "HoffSpace" has over 11,000 members.

Let's get a conversation started over Jesus instead? 'k?


By the way - the first seven chapters of Purpose Driven Life are available as a free online download.
