All tag results for 'mayans'

2012 is halfway through, so naturally, people are preparing for the end of days.

In an effort to capitalize off of people who believe the Maya calendar points to December 21 as the day this planet goes to hell, Spike TV has turned people's irrational fears into a reality television show!

Last Family on Earth will feature families competing against other families for a spot in a state-of-the-art underground Vivos bunker, which has been fortified to withstand any doomsday scenario society has thought of (except maybe the Rapture).

AWK-WARD!

89-year-old Harold Camping convinced LOTS of people that the world was going to end on May 21, 2011, but that date has come and gone…and we're all still here.

So, why didn't the world end on schedule? Here's what Camping had to say about it:

"It has been a really tough weekend. I'm looking for answers…But now I have nothing else to say."

Maybe his calculations were off? Perhaps a misplaced decimal point somewhere in his apocalypse math? Hopefully he can make up figure out some answers to make his followers feel better.

Here's what Camping's PR aide Tom Evans had to say about the world not ending:

"You can imagine we're pretty disappointed, but the word of God is still true. We obviously went too far, and that's something we need to learn from."

Another guy who's probably more than a little disappointed is Robert Fitzpatrick, who spent $140K of life savings to spread the word of "the rapture" in NYC. Here's what HE had to say about all of this:

"I do not understand why…I do not understand why nothing has happened."

We're thinking Harold Camping should have stuck to the whole 2012 thing. Then, if things didn't work out, he could have at least shared the blame with those Mayans!

Are U surprised that the world didn't end? How does that make U feel? Happy? Disappointed? A little bit of both? Ha!
