[edit] Arrested?
Has he ever been? I've seen people threaten to call the cops on him, and a cop once grabbing him by the back on the collar, but never heard of it actually happening.
[edit] Testicular Cancer
There should probably be more info on Tom's bout with testicular cancer in the article, as it only gets a short mention.
[edit] ADD?
There is a cartoon voiced by Green in which he says he has ADD. It could be just joking at the fact that his material is quite random but there is a possibility he really has ADD...
-The cartoon you're referring to is Clone High, and Tom voiced himself on the show. His character has A.D.D. and is trying to spread awareness about A.D.D. through his "new book". He also talks about potato chips, his muscle, and a ferris wheel, and then proceeds to chase a floating plastic bag.
[edit] Razzi Awards
"Green appeared at the ceremony to accept his awards, making him the first recipient to do so in the award's twenty-year history."
Not true, Paul Verhoeven accepted a Razzi in 1996 for Showgirls. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Raspberry_Awards
Although I suppose he was the first person to show up after winning multiple Razzis.
[edit] Anticipating Vandalism
Just a head's up, the /b/tards of 4chan have a new meme going and they're pranking Tom Green's call-in show. There was already some 4chan meme spam on here that I deleted. It may or not get worse, so mods, keep an eye on this page. --jeffrey elliot 06:14, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
First off, it's not really a meme. Secondly, while this article probably will get vandalized, might the pranking get a mention on either this page, or 4chan's (probably the latter)? While not really a major event in Green's life, it's fairly big for us at /b/. Trebs 23:14, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Rapper
Thats a joke right? He really isn't a rapper is he?
- Yes, he most definitely is. Zerbey 19:16, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
I've just deleted an entry saying he died today in Ontario. The fella lives the the Hollywood hills. If you're going to do it, do it properly.
[edit] Doubling Letterman
I removed the part about episodes of Tom Green's web show doubling the ratings of David Letterman. It's ridiciulous. I seriously f***ing doubt that Tom Green Live gets eight million viewers a night.
[edit] Forum killed by 4chan, Green asking for Counter-Raid
Seems like the Tom Green Forums were the target of another so-called raid by 4chan(specifically /b/)'s Users. I've received this eMail today:
The following is an email sent to you by an administrator of "tomgreen.com - The Channel". If this message is spam, contains abusive or other comments you find offensive please contact the webmaster of the board at the following address: no-reply@tomgreen.com Include this full email (particularly the headers). Message sent to you follows: 21:37, 26 October 2006 (UTC)21:37, 26 October 2006 (UTC)21:37, 26 October 2006 (UTC)21:37, 26 October 2006 (UTC)21:37, 26 October 2006 (UTC)145.254.59.185 Due to the recent raid the forum is going to be under some changes, there will be an end to it soon enough and everyone can go back to enjoying themselves, without being bothered by 4chan of any kind. sorry you guys all had to go through this but 4chan hit us hard this time. ~Snix
His reaction was posted on the forums as well:
"Tim, you've got to do something about these 4chan whores. They are really a pain in the ass. It's not even fun to go the website sometimes because they are always f*&%ing it up. Please Ted, fix it!! " Sent by a Shepherd, from Hell
Tom: "go fuck up their site. Pussy's. I like 4chan, at least they commit!"
I think this could/should be mentioned in the part of the article referring to Tom Green Live, next to the continuos prank calls mainly done by 4chan users.
If requested, I can cite a screenshot of the mail and http://tomgreen.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1807 for the answer.
- Who cares? Why are you bringing this to Wikipedia's attention? A bunch of anime forum retards are invading Tom Green's forums. So what? What does this have to do with wikipedia or this article? Have you considered that most wikipedia users don't care about 4chan or forum invasions? 65.97.2.33 20:09, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
