Forget Santa, Hammer's Gonna Turn This Christmas Out

Aging star to hand out toys to South Florida kids

Christmas time will be Hammertime for a group of needy South Florida kids this year.

That's right, '90s rapper, dancer and fashion offender M.C. Hammer will be on hand tomorrow at the Broward Sheriff's Office annual "Toys for Tots & Teens" event.

The "U Can't Touch This" singer will joing Santa and Mrs. Claus as they hand out thousands of toys to underprivileged kids 17 and under at the invitation-only event.

Why Hammer? Who knows. Considering his breakthrough album, "Please Hammer, Don't Hurt 'Em" came out two years before any of the kids were born, and his career was essentially over a few years later, they'll likely only recognize him from his Cash4Gold.com ads.

The event is at the Ron Cochran Public Safety Building at 2601 W. Broward Blvd. from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
