Two-minute primer for the idiots who think 2012 will mark the end of times

Does anyone believe this?

 

I watch LOTS of shitty television, including something apparently on that network. But I do not watch Wife Swap!

 

I watched an episode of Wife Swap, once. But it wasn't on ABC.

 

Yeah, but "mass hysteria," as that snide narrator said? Bullshit. I hadn't even heard about this whole ridiculous subject until I came here (like everything else).

 

Y2k says hi.

 

I trust the random drunk I met last night: "Fuck the Mayans!"

 

Drat. Sarah Palin will be so disappointed.

 

I maintain that the producers of generators and powdered soups were behind that whole thing.

 

I would believe more if this same exact scene didn't play out in 2000 for Y2k and last year for the rapture.

The thing I hate is that the religious fanatics warning us to "repent now or God will strike you down" will say that we're all going to die on 12/21/12 but, the next day, will say we're alive because "God is good and spared us".

Right ...

 

I'm holding off on Christmas shopping until Dec. 22.

 

If the world is supposed to end on Dec. 21, 2012, why bother holding the presidential election? The winner is scheduled to get sworn in January 2013, after the world has ended.
