Lathain Valtiel Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I'm as merciless in online forums as I am in Jedi Academy. Heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET Warrior Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Well this forum isn't Jedi Academy. There was no need to be so rude. As was said, just because he's on Wikipedia doesn't mean he is, in fact, world famous. Cool it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BongoBob Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Who would have thought that Bob Ross would cause such an event "If you tell anyone about that tree, I will find you, and I will kill you." Family Guy FTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IG-64 Posted April 4, 2006 Author Share Posted April 4, 2006 We're gonna use a fan brush here. And I want you to take some Hunter Green. And we'll put a happy little bush right down over here in the corner. And that'll just be our little secret. And if you tell anyone that that bush is there I will come to your house and I will cut you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynk Former Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I'm as merciless in online forums as I am in Jedi Academy. Heh. You mean you're a bad sport everywhere? I can believe that But anywayz, back to the thread... all we need now is a new Mario Paint game from Nintendo themselves. Because it'd just me madness to release the NRV without a Mario Paint game lol. Or a new Pikmin game for that matter lol. I love Pikmin, it showed us that RTS doesn't have to involve wars XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapNColostomy Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 You fail. Wikipedia, a not exactly US-centric site has this on Bob Ross and his... This is certainly one of the most entertaining posts I've read in quite some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toms Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Don't make an assumption on someone's notoriety in ignorance just because you haven't heard of him next time. The world does not revolve around your opinion (thank the lord). *cries* Doh! It was on Discovery Real Time all the time - how could I have missed it!!! There must be at least 4 people who watch that channel! They will make a mint! How come all the weird tv painters have big hair and beards? Maybe thats where i went wrong as an artist....

Prime Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 As was said, just because he's on Wikipedia doesn't mean he is, in fact, world famous. Also, seeing as it is indeed on Wikipedia, that list may be entirely bull****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lathain Valtiel Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Also, seeing as it is indeed on Wikipedia, that list may be entirely bull****. That is of course correct. However, in turn it may also be true. It's not possible to make that assumption, which is arguably just as bad as taking it on faith. Even the Encyclopaedia Brittanica has errors after all. The fix for this, of course, is to do your own research. And... http://www.br-online.de/kultur-szene/sendungen/joyofpainting/index.xml So, there's Germany at least, giving some credence to the list. There's apparently even a German fan forum... jeez, where'd they find THAT? It is currently listed on Discovery Real Time, which is actually shown in other areas besides Britain, including, say, Singapore. http://bobross.at5.nl/ AT5 has it listed. And last I checked, even THEY call him legendary. So that's 3 so far. Do I need to continue to prove that at least the list is accurate, which lends more than a little credibility to the argument I made? The method of delivery is irrelevant, correctness on the other hand is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET Warrior Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Wow. I'm really impressed. Really. You've still no justification for acting like such a jerk, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BongoBob Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Seriously, Lathain, stop. Just leave it be. If all you're going to do is spark arguments and heat flamewars, than don't post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightNinja Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Lathain you love that guy dont you? I've never heard of him, well i guess my life is safe while you don't proove that that show is broadcasted in spain =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynk Former Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Lathain, you ever thought that toms meant he wasn't known worldwide like say... U2 and maybe offered Rolph Harris as a joke alternative? Wow, some broadcaster in a few countries outside of the US have played his show. Doesn't mean he's the hottest thing out there and that the masses have all watched his show or even CARE who he is. Just because his show has been broadcast out of the US means NOTHING. A tonne of shows make it out of the US and most of them fall under the radar. So someone has made a forum about Bob Ross somewhere, that's no big deal, there are forums made about a lot of subjects and not all of them are popular subjects (*copies, pastes and edits*) Don't make an assumption on someone's notoriety in ignorance just because you've heard of him next time. The world does not revolve around your opinion (thank the lord). and if this asshattery does continue I'm just gonna close the thread and be done with it.

Lathain Valtiel Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Congratulations on failing Mr. Former. I actually almost never watched the show... Did you even read what you pasted? It makes no sense in relation to me, because, surprise, I actually did a little research before I said anything. Now then, a little rational thinking... To your rhetorical question: No, because unlike you I don't have the ability to read minds over the Internet like you seem to have. I have to go with what's there. And surprise, I went with what exactly was said. To your weirdly lengthy rant: That would make sense... the pronlem with that logic is that it is an assumption that is not backed up. I could very easily make the reverse assumption, and in fact as a general rule the wide proliferation of something tends to be a general indication of some form of notoriety, past or present moreso than not. This is mainly because TV stations are usually (not always, but usually) business-oriented and want some form of ratings. Then there's the interesting point that the show is... what, a decade old? And yet it's somehow still around on foreign stations...? With the context thus considered, the evidence supports my conjecture more than it does yours.

Lynk Former Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Yeah, I forgot to change "notoriety." Oh noez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
