Bobby Ray Simmons Jr, better known as B.o.B, has recently endorsed the Flat Earth Theory, originally through a series of tweets on his official account (@bobatl).

The cities in the background are approx. 16miles apart... where is the curve ? please explain this

Eventually, he came under fire from the notorious science communicator, Neil deGrasse Tyson. B.o.B has handled this by doing what he does best - he released a song about his beliefs and deGrasse Tyson's deception, titled Flatline. You can listen to the track at B.o.B's SoundCloud.

We at the Flat Earth Society really appreciate the endorsement, B.o.B. We wish you luck on your path to discovering the truth!

I am actually arguing with a NdT apologist on our reddit right now about this very thing. As suspected, these round earthers just take everything their saviors say as gospel.

Yeah, Twitter blew up today. I think we may have gained as many as 70 followers in the last 24 hours. It certainly isn't hurting.

In the television series Cosmos Neil deGrasse Tyson rides around on "The Ship of the Imagination" to show us the universe. That should tell you something.

That track is fire. Glad to welcome a man with the great talents and stature of B.o.B to FET. I encourage anyone with a twitter to tweet at him and welcome him to post on the forum.

Congrats, B.o.B.

While I can understand the appeal that this represents to a community regarded by the majority as an aberration, I see an extremely dangerous time for those engaged in this discussion in the near future, my guess would be this year given the release and management of the short attention span our society possesses.

Wait to see what will happen to B.o.B. and Tila Tequila, it will not end well and the common denominator will be their thoughts on the Flat Earth. These two prominent cases will provide the foundation for what I fear to be corrective measures taken upon individuals that exhibit early symptoms of this contrived "form of mental illness".

Most of us are familiar with the typical reaction observed when this discussion is brought in public. If mental illness is associated with any amount of agreeing with a Flat Earth then people will steer clear of you in fear of being adjudicated by association.

This is conjecture, and my intent is not to spread FUD and I apologize in advance as it may seem as such.

There is some hope.  Sherry Shepherd was demonized for not even having an opinion about the shape of the Earth.  B.o.B. seems to have been treated a lot more fairly.  Tila Tequila has never been anything more than a stupid crazy bitch so nobody cares what she has to say.

As progress goes, it's not much, but baby steps!
