He is an awesome human being on every level.

And just like Izzard (another great human), Viggo can pull off the shorts.

Geebus, I sorta wish I'd not seen that... I'll think of it every time a see a JW movie, now (being a John Ford fan for the scenery)...

You can never unsee this.

Actually I thought it was an interesting statement on fashion. Men wouldn't wear those today, because, you know masculinity standards.

I've lived the past five or so years without cable, so my free Saturday mornings are filled with whatever I'm doing at home... and watching/listening to Magnum PI in the background on a sub-station I get over the air (it's either that, or some really trippy cartoons and cooking shows).

And yeah, I've caught myself wondering if the (lack of) length of his shorts were really a style in the 80's drowned out by neons, pastels and Members Only jackets, or if the producers simply thought, "this guy's a piece of cheesecake... let's show as much as we can".

Nobody would be caught dead in baggy to the knee shorts
