A little acting advice coming at ya, Ed Norton

By David Hasselhoff

Bio & Blog

I just saw The Incredible Hulk, and, indeed, it was Incredible. The animatronics are life-like, the Hulk's stomach almost as flat and toned as my six-pack during Baywatch's critically adored fifth season (my personal fave).

However, it is my sad duty to report that Ed -- can I call you Ed, Edward? -- Norton's performance in The Otherwise Incredible Hulk is best described as a hulking batch of shittiness. For starters, we all know about his petulant behavior, unbecoming of a true celebrity. Refusing to do publicity? Are you insane?!

That's tantamount to saying God can go fuck Himself. You just don't do it under any circumstances.

Also, every time he opens his mouth, Ed Norton sounds like a weasel. I know that weasels can't talk (at least I think they can't), but if weasels could talk, they'd sound like Ed. I don't suppose there's anything to be done about that.

Along with acting skills best left on a cafeterium stage at a bad public school, Ed "Shorten" Norton commits the unforgivable sin of being a little man. Whereas I'm a robust 6'4".

Perhaps this is a topical treatment for another time, but what is Hollywood thinking casting midgets as superheroes? Yeah, I'm looking at you, Spider-Man.

Who wants short superheroes? I'm not thinking of my career, per se -- this is about the kids. For their sake, heroes should be no shorter than 6'4". (And no taller.)

But I don't want to start ranting here. You wouldn't like me when I rant. At any rate, it's no small wonder, so to speak, that Salma Hayek packed up her fantastic breasts and left Ed for Penelope Cruz.

In short, my  friends, that is why Edtard Shorten should hang it up as an actor.

Hey, Hollywood! Call me if you ever want to make a great superhero movie with an experienced actor who is 6'4" cast as the lead! Plus, I have a little friend who could play my sidekick if for some reason you're still interested in little midget people.

Have you ever wondered why you have never had a Salma (intelligent, sexy, and beautiful) in your life? I think you prefer women who enjoy eating shit encrusted sandwiches off the floor while your teenager daughter videos the moment. Sorry I brought that up but I can't seem to get that image out of my mind.

Give me a break, do you really think you need to be giving Edward Norton advice? Yes, he blows off the press, and frankly I like that about him. If I was in his shoes I would do the same thing, at least he doesn't get video taped eating a burger off his kitchen floor drunk as shit. You are a big star in where Germany big deal. No one gives a flying f@ck about your advice. From what I can tell is you are just jealous you aren't as good of an actor as Edward Norton.

Dear writer::

Dear writer: I know its satire, but you should have done a little research before basing the entire thing on Edward Norton's height. There is a reason he is not well-known for being a short actor, mainly because he appears rather tall. He looks like he is at least six feet on the screen when compared to other actors or the scenery. A quick google reveals he is at least six feet. And the thing about not doing press, if you research the actual press release, is actually not true as the studio stated that he fulfilled all his responsibilities in this area. I don't see how old/wrong gossip is the new satire, but whatever.

Brad Pitt:

ok writer, first, educate yourself on the topics you want to poke fun at. and also realize you're spreading ignorance with your petty and catty statements around while maintaining your ass-hole stature. i hope at least half your readers realize that you are only writing such amphigoric material to acquire a false sense of power and amour propre. i truly trust that writing this made you harbor some pride, because you have lost all dignity and respect in the eyes of the cognizant and enlightened. o, and try insulting some one on the same level your own moronic ideals. at least edward norton still encompasses his gentility and dignity.

Kim:

You people are stupid if you believe that David Hasselhoff wrote this in his blog. It says on the top left hand corner that these blogs are not real. Someone who has it against David Hasselhoff wrote this blog. You can check out his blogs and you won't find this BS on any of his blogs. He would never say anything like this about a celebrity or write this piece of garbage about anyone. You're just giving him a bad name. Whoever put this on the internet is a dispicable piece of shit.

David Hasselhoff:

Hey Kim, thanks for coming to my defense. I don't know who's posting this subliterate garbage, but KITT and I intend to find out.

Also, did you know Brad Pitt is only 5'11"?

you don't wanna know !!!!!!:

GROW UP!!! oh my god, your so vain, this guy (Edward Norton) is a bloody good hollywood actor who has done stage and film and who is STILL in the main stream of being "well known". Ye he's made mistakes but who hasn't and who are you to judge?!, you have no right to insult his acting or the way he speaks, that is really childish...sorry but how old are you?.....Oh ye and a wee note on that whole superhero thing, kids run around pretending to be these superheros, so small guys becoming these superheros gives them that hope of " WOW ! that happened to a normal guy!, i don't need to be big, tall, or massive for this to happen to me", their kids man!

even if this blog IS fake whoever wrote it really needs to get a life!

General Petraeus:

This blog is as real as death. As far as height vs. heroics goes, the smaller soldiers present a smaller target for the insurgents. Think about that over your double-scoop mint chocolate chip cones, America.
