Does the jab about scantily-clad women on the current Ripley's TV series fall outside of NPOV? I would kind of think it does. --Shawn K. Quinn 04:41, 2004 Dec 20 (UTC)
- It only appears POV if someone has a problem with it, but then sex sells nowadays. Riffsyphon1024 23:51, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- I haven't watched that much of the show, but I don't remember this being a problem to the point where it just jumped up and said "this is a bunch of women in bikinis". I can live with it if the majority say that's within NPOV, though. --Shawn K. Quinn 06:38, 2005 Feb 19 (UTC)
- It seems out of place to me, but I haven't watched the new show MechBrowman 16:25, Mar 1, 2005 (UTC)
- I agree about the scantily-clad women comment. I used to watch the show and it was quite good, then eventually they hired a baywatch actress (Kelly Packard) as co-host and it seemed to get worse and worse as the weeks went by. Eventually, you couldn't even enjoy the non-sexual bits because of all the constant advertisement at the bottom of the screen about all the half-naked women you're about to see in a few minutes. I'm a man and I like hot babes as much as the next guy, but this was rediculous. I can see why it didn't last long after that. - 216.78.96.108 11:34, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

- It could be rewritten NPOV (an example of going out of its way to sensationalise perhaps?) and the opinion attributed to a reasonably mainstream publication. Did a brief google but couldn't find one though, and I hadn't even heard of the series till reading this article. 65.33.156.96 00:42, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Museums
This article neglects to mention the Original Ripley's Believe It or Not! Museum in St. Augustine, Florida: CLICK ME! Which I highly recommend visiting if you are ever in ST Augstine, a lovely and historic town which I also highly recommend visiting if you are ever in Florida. You'll usually find best deals and best weather during the "off" season between March and May...Before the heat and hurricanes really start up.--R.D.H. (Ghost In The Machine) 06:34, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
There are also two in Texas. One across from the Alamo in San Antonio, and one in Dallas. They are both combined with a wax museum. Cornface 00:19, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Video game
An adventure game was produced in 1995: [1]
[edit] Books
The article also fails to mention the series of books, which frequently appear on bestseller lists.
- I own so many of them, and yes, I think that they should be included. Go for it.

[edit] Museum
Isn't there a Museum in Copenhagen, Denmark?. I recall seeing one there.--Ahmed 00:53, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
And I've been to the one in Hong Kong, but it closed last year (I don't know why, so I'm reluctant to add it to the list of closed Odditoriums).
[edit] Television series
Should each series be given an article instead of having them jumbled in with this one?
—Lady Aleena talk/contribs 14:48, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
Anyone know how to prevent the three television infoboxes from drifting down into the museum section? Perhaps all three boxes could fit across on one row. Mtjaws 00:41, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Wisconsin Dells
Does anyone know if the museum in Wisconsin Dells is still open? If it is, it should be added to the list. Zagalejo 14:49, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
