It's the End of the World as We Know It!!!!

[dragoon500ly]

Well, it had to happen, these been some reports concerning some rather odd die offs of birds and fishes in Arkansas....and the local extreme right, holier than god, radio station down here in mississippi has annouched....drumroll please....that the end times are upon us!

That's right! All of you sinners out there in radio land need to get down on your knees and beg forgiveness of your sins....blah, blah, blah....and send a healthy donation to this radio station.

With all the hoopla about 2012 being the Mayan end of the world, is it just me or is there a lot more wackos, crazos, weirdos and just plain freakos coming out of the wood work? You'd think it was Y2K or something?

I don't know if this qualifies as "End of the World", but a cable released by WikiLinks revealed that Ahmadinejad was slapped around by the Republican Guard chief of staff. Hilarious, if nothing else:

According to this *ahem* scholar, the world is coming to an end - and the Rapture is scheduled for May 21st.

[dragoon500ly]

Drats! And here I thought I had until December 21, 2012 to complete my evil schemes! This throws a major monkey wrench into my plan to hijack the world economy using specially trained teams of pickled herrings! Any chance of rescheduling for June 18th?

[weswood]

I like the May 21 deadline. 3 days before my 15th wedding anniversary. Could save me a lot of money.

If any of you happen to meet end-of-the-world types, please pass along my name as someone who will dispose of their cash and worldly goods for them. I'm going to have to start putting my kid in day care soon, and it's going to be murder.

That's the truth Web! Only for my works subsidised day care I honestly think it would have been cheaper for me to bin work completely. Working shifts and being able to (mostly) set my own rota helps too. And number two is due in 7 weeks or so :-D

[dragoon500ly]

Let's not talk about Day Care!!! If the IRS every needs lessons in how to squeeze money from a stone, these are the people who can teach them!


I like to pick on the local survivalist radio station simply because of the utter mind rot that they spew out every day. You can almost say that they have overdosed on all of the luntical fringe publications predicting the end of the world in 2012. The sheer level of thier stupidity can only be matched by what they were broadcasting for Y2K...soooo, here is some of the highlights for 2011, so far...

Obama is not an American citizen.
(please, I don't like the man and didn't vote for him, but he does have a US birth certificate, case closed).

Obama is the Anti-Christ.
(I shouldn't pick on them for this one, they think Martin Luther King is the anti-christ on odd-numbered days)

Obama and Biden are out to destroy marriage as set out in the Bible.
(alrighty then!)

Biden is anti-American.
(according to this group so are 249 million out of 250 million Americans)

Obama's Health Care Bill is the start of his destruction of the Constitution.
(nope! this has been going on since the New Deal and FDR)

Nancy Polozi is the Anti-Christ.
(ok, I had to sit and think about this one before I said nope)

Sarah Palin is the Anti-Christ.
(well, I guess you could say that they hate everyone equally?)

Disney is the secret world government.
(OMG!!!! The secret is out!!!! Mickey Mouse wears red shorts!!! Pluto wears a red collar!!!!! THIS EXPLAINS EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!)


A lone beacon of sanity located somewhere in the darkness of just plain stupidity.

Once again I was perusing the various news sources to find the meaning of life. (So far, all I can determine is that Life is a bowl of cerial :p)

But here is a new twist on the hyper religious right

They are planning a boycott of the movie Thor when it is released later this year.

And not for the reasons you might think.

http://movies.msn.com/paralleluniverse/thor-targeted-for-boycott/story/feature/?from=MSNHP

The Council of Conservitive Citizens is proposing the boycott because the actor Idris Elba has been hired to play Heimdall.

"The group claims Marvel is trying to give Norse mythology and legends a "multi-cultural remake" with "Thor" by re-inventing a god and black skin."

and even better....

"They also say "Marvel attacks conservative values and promotes the left wing." "

Ummmm......???????

This is a movie!!! About a COMIC BOOK CHARACTER???!!!!! Thor is NOT real. He was believed to be a Norse god. That belief passed away about 800-900 years ago. No boycott because of the portrayal of a Mythical Norse God. These heathens at Marvel DARED to change the mythos.

I do not remember any outcry over Stargate, SG1 and the introduction of aliens who portrayed Egyptian Gods.

I consider myself a somewhat conservative, somewhat religious person. Will I watch Thor? Probably. I see no difference between watching Thor or Superman.

I just thought you all might enjoy a good giggle!! I sure did.

Just my two cents.

Do these guys broadcast online?

Mike,

Ah, those group of nutjobs. According to their statement of principles, the CCC is dedicated to white supremacy and white separation, kind of reverse apartheid. I remember thinking their objection to Thor was hilarious.

And taken all together, nice little back drop for New America!

Makes sense, since Marvel is now owned by Disney... :)

There is a theory that it could be something like the SR-91 Aurora plane being tested, there are rumors that radar picked up an object in those area where the birds died off.

Chuck, just passing along what I heard.
