Bob Dobbs - Air date: 02-14-08

BOB DOBBS. Paramedia Ecologist. Bob Dobbs was born in Paris in 1922 and after World War Two worked with international intelligence agencies for many decades.
He surfaced in 1987 on CKLN-FM in Toronto and began whistleblowing. Two
interpretations of Dobbs are circulating in the popular media: one is
through the Church of the SubGenius; the other is on two CDs, Bob's Media
Ecology and Bob's Media Ecology Squared, put out in 1992 by Time Again
Productions, early students of Marshall McLuhan. The best presentation of Dobbs' work is in his book, Phatic Communion with Bob Dobbs. Today, he travels the world explaining his/our victory over the Android Meme, and the tracings of these activities were regularly published
in Flipside magazine in the late Nineties. His present writings can be found
at www.fivebodied.com, www.fivebodied/project.com, purple@tellurian.com.

This person is not Bob Dobbs. He is Bob Dean.

He poses as Bob Dobbs because he thinks he's the founder of the Church of Subgenius. He isn't.

[jstarret]

He doesn't actually think he is. He has admitted it is all a scam, and that he is just riding the coattails of the talented, using nonsense and buzzwords to fool the gullible.

[Wilsmyth]

the fact that there is proof his isn't Bob only proves that he is Bob

[zingbangboom]

you won't find any "truth" there. the guys just don't get the humor of his fictional persona. they get upset about him making things up about the church of SubGenius. the churchs own credo is: "f*ck'em if the can't take a joke!"

[Blackstarguitar]

Don't Get Distracted.LOL

GO BOB!!!!

Bob Dobbs Bob Dean- some people can't see the forest for the trees- the medium is the message and no one is getting it- this guy understands the greatest minds of Western thought

[darkshovels]

The jury's still out on which one of them is the bigger douchebag, but Bob Dean is definitely the fraud on the right claiming to be Bob Dobbs.

[EepSquared]

Fuck, I hate when Bob goes on Harold's show. Harold is an idiotic old dolt who does nothing but slow Bob down! Bob, for the love of yourself, just produce your own videos and put them up on YouTube. You don't need to be on anyone else's show.

"Nerval System within the satellite" ?? Well, thanks Harold for inviting Bob another time. But you should have been prepared better with a read or refresh on McLuhan, or just by listening. The offtopic comments ruined the whole flow. I hope you will invite him another time, it kinda stopped when it got really interesting.

at :24 sec he looks SO enthused introducing Mr. Dobbs...isn't his real name Bob Dean? If there was a religion based on this guy, I'm thinking it would be a big hit with those crazy "Heaven's Gate" kids.
