May 21st: Another Doomsday spoof??

For the longest while now people have been going on about the world ending. But wasn't the world already supposed to end?! March 10th 1982, January 1st 2000, June 6 2006, and now May 21st. And lets not forget about the Dooms Day dates: October 21st 2011and December 21st 2012. Really people, you guys need to stop doing this...its getting a bit old. How stupid are you gonna feel if tomorrow comes and goes like any other day. 

So I was kind of curious as to why the world was gonna end this time, did a bit of research what I came across was
-the comet  Elenin and asteroid Apophis WAS supposed to collide with Earth sometime between 2011 and 2012, bringing about doomsday. But now its being said that thats not going to happen and the imgae that brought about this whole fiasco was not an actual image of comet Elenin.

-a preacher form California, Harold Camping, predicts the second coming of Christ. And he's going about doing it in a big way to!! He speaks t his 'followers' via  the Family Radio Network, which by the way is funded by his listeners and is valued at approximately $120million! Let me just say, 'Dude, really?' The network owns 66 stations in America alone and has launched a high profile advertising campaign trying to inform people about 'the end'. He even got down and dirty with the details and is confident that the world will end.
" In other words, when we get to May 21 on the calendar in any city or country in the world, and the clock says about — this is based on other verses in the Bible — when the clock says about 6 p.m., there’s going to be this tremendous earthquake that’s going to make the last earthquake in Japan seem like nothing in comparison. And the whole world will be alerted that Judgment Day has begun. And then it will follow the sun around for 24 hours. As each area of the world gets to that point of 6 p.m. on May 21, then it will happen there, and until it happens, the rest of the world will be standing far off and witnessing the horrible thing that is happening."

That’s what i found.

As expected people, worldwide, took the piss! From Trending Topics like 'Zombie Apocalypse' on twitter to Survival guides. Few examples I came across:

Not trying to be a weirdo or anything, but I think a zombie apocalypse would be 'so kewll', lol, my opinion. I mean, come on, it would be a pretty interesting way to go out. No? 

Seriously though, I really think that these overly religious nutcases need to calm down, if it does happen then oh well..good bye cruel world; but I don't think its worth spending millions of dollars on when there are way bigger issues that need our attention. Starving people, medical research, saving animals...hello?!! Is this mic on??! The people who did donate will(or should I use the word 'should' here?) feel like such __(use your creativity to fill in the blanks) when we roll into May 22nd.

Bet most people take it as a excuse to go out and party hard tonight, can't say I'd blame them, If you're gonna go out, might as well enjoy your last few hours. Or maybe I can do some really stupid sh*t and use the excuse 'I thought the world was gonna end' to get out of trouble. Hmm..

Well that my view on that, see you guys May 22nd...or not :/
