This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

Came here to say this.
The people who own Bob Ross' name and likeness are terrible. Please don't buy BR products.
I hate capitalism. This guy is a symbol of wholesome good hearted teaching and entertainment. But somehow after you die people can suck the profits out of that until every time I see his face somewhere I have to be reminded that we live in a world that didn't deserve him.
Do we have to let every fucking part of our culture be reduced to a damn dollar sign?
Yeah. :(
What vultures? Five Below? That is where I saw it originally.
Bob Ross’ family doesn’t get any of the money from this product (or other products with his name and likeness).

Oh, no. But glad I am not the one who bought it. I bought the Dragonball Z ones tho. They were right next to it.
