Another Dead Person

Bob Ross, painter of "happy little trees" and host of an ultra-cheezy PBS show, is still dead. But his legacy lives on overseas with many devotees of his calming instruction style. This is equal parts disturbing and hilarious (via The Morning News).

Didn't Mad TV do a spot-on parody of Ross? He really was an instant cure for insomnia, and his paintings were of a quality one normally only sees at Starving Artist fairs in shopping malls.

Bob Ross is the best. Those MTV commercials he did years ago were great.
