Ripley's Believe It Or Not! Opinions

[HitchcockFan]

Greetings!
I have always been a fan of Robert Ripley and his fascination with the odd, bizarre, and macabre. I love reading the "Ripley's Believe It Or Not!" books that come out every few years and the television show is a special treat. I have even gotten to tour some of his Odditoriums on vacations.
However, I know that many people are not fans of "Ripley's Believe It Or Not!" I would like to hear about everyone's opinion here.
Why do you like it?
Why don't you like it?

Yes! I love Ripley's! I visited Ripley's in Blackpool last year. I find all that odd stuff fascinating but some of it is really gross too

Thanks for replying, margotchanning! I agree with you about some of the items being gross. However, I think one of Mr. Ripley's main goals was to gross people out!

There's one in NYC, I've only been to the lounge (not all the way in) but it seems awesome. Some of my friends have been there and they told me it's hilarious and cool!
