So I'm just sitting here, minding my own buisness installin' mah modz and I see a commercial on TV for this ******ry.

http://www.institute...continuity.org/

Seriously. Even if it is an ad for 2012, it's annoying.

[Mallick]

Yeah, I saw the ad on TV the other night. There was also a program on the history channel about how the world will progress after we cease to exist (based on the theory that we'll disappear off the face of the earth in the year 2012). It was more interesting than infuriating, though.

It's just the fuckin' end of the calendar if you ask me. Which makes sense. The world doesn't end every year for us.

Worst case scenario, Fallout's world.

You do know who's making it, correct?

[Legolastom]

Damn you Kagrenec!

Saw the commercial a couple days ago.
What annoyed me the most actually was that it was advertised exactly like District 9 was early on.

[Toasty]

I found this incredibly hilarious.

[Saturos S.]

I'm just going use "the end of the world" as an excuse to be lazy.

[TheEnglishman]

Man, Christmas is gonna be a real bummer that year.

[Saturos S.]

The good thing about 2012 really being the end of the world is that the people who were right don't get to gloat about it. But if they're wrong, we can just continue laughing about how stupid they are.

[Legolastom]

No Kagrenec was the Dwenmer guy that made all the Dwemner disappear.

This.

Any bets on the next "doomsday" year?

[Caael]

2042, in conjunction with the Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy and 42 being the meaning of life. What a cruel irony that would be.

[Drizzy Drake]

fuck thhgttg

2012 isn't gonna happen, and even if it does it'll be the poles' shifting, and therefore a climate clusterfuck, not some 4 horseman apocalypse shit.

[Toasty]

moar liek massive meteors amirite?

The one thing I find incredibly hilarious on that site, is how they say "We know the end of the world is comming on 2012 with near absolute certainty".
It's like they think they can predict the future,

I also find it funny that they think that the meteor which is supposed to pass relatively close to earth on 2012, is actually going to hit it. They pay no attention to science whatsoever.

That particular meteor will pass close, but in the worst case scenario, it will pass through a "keyhole". In which case it does, then a few decades later it will smash into earth, obliterating everything. But at least we'll have a few decades heads-up to manufacture ginormous, incredibly-long-range- nuclear ballistic missiles to destroy it before it comes within a lightyear of us.

Toasty, the website is part of the viral marketing for the movie 2012. To be fair, I thought it was real at first.

[Drizzy Drake]

ha, fail

[Toasty]

Dang....Now I don't have a silly organization to make fun of.

Spreading fallout EVERYWHERE :wub:

Then the world really WILL be like Fallout. Quick, build some vaults.

[Legolastom]

Quick build some vats so we can target the enemy in a turn based fashion.

[I'm Always BROKE]

People. Are. Fuckin'. Crazy.

If you blow it up far enough away from earth, and if you make the pieces small enough, then most of them will scatter and miss the earth. Any of them that do head straight towards us will probably be small enough that they don't do any real damage.

[Caael]

And burn up in the atmosphere

CATASTROPHE AVERTED

[Toasty]

Whether they burn up or not depends on their composition. If they're mostly metallic, then they'll hit the earth. If they're mostly rock and ice, then they'll burn up.
