oh god no, man show what have you done

[halB]

damn man show, just had that adam and son clip, where he teaches his son to "hunt" with paintball guns. adam is sportin a sl 68 and his son has a tippy c98. they shoot, wearing camo and a hunting vest, with no mask, at a midget, who is wearing no mask and antlers. dear god man show, what have you done

[FalconGuy016]

Wow im pretty linient but thats unsafe, the midget had no mask??? wow

but if you are thinking this hurts the image of paintball I dont think it will... if anything it will get people hooked on it


im just saying that now in case I would have to say that later, dont take it personally if you dont mean that at all

[darklord]

yeah I saw that...oh well, the man show isn't exactly the most PC show around.... I doubt that clip will exactly mar the image of paintball. At least they weren't mags!

[Kevmaster]

its a very highly watched show. it can and will give the wrong image about paintball. i already sent an email to JJ at SPPLAT

well, when you actually think about it, nobody has taken the image tv has given paintball to use against it. and we cry for correctness. yet what do you think other people are saying about the pb community? if i didnt know pb, i would think there a bunch of PC uptight pricks. its a goddamn show for crying out loud. anybody watching the man show doesnt have any oblegation to harm pb. its all guys who though the skit was funny. calm down.

Are you sure about that? Are you aware that paintball has been banned in an entire state before? Do you know what they used? What happens when some kids "try this at home"? You might want to rethink that.

Hitech 'bout summed up how I feel.

For some reason I find this funny. :)

But in all honesty I would rather the general public think paintball players are a bunch of uptight pricks, than a bunch of Rednecks running around the woods acting like some out of control military unit on drugs, or some of the other images that I see being expressed by the general public. I have never seen an activity stopped because those who participated in it were "uptight pricks".

No, The Man Show did not bring down the paintball industry. But to ignore that we must be diligent is more dangerous than the potential of looking like we are a bit uptight.

i agree. this may not be the DIRECT cause of proposed paintball bans, but it certainly is a factor. lil jimmy seeing Kevin and Jimmy Kimmel shooting without masks at people without masks WILl lead to someone shooting at another person without a mask. it may or may not result in a news(depending on eye damage).

all in all, Paintball needs to do something with the TV industry to promote proper playing form

well, at least "The Anna Nicole Smith Show" got it right last night...loL!
