This is the best! Keep making these videos. And I think once that runner thinks about it a while, he will vote for you in the end.

Thank You finally some one understands, and if the world ended violently why would the pyramids be there and the Aztecs have a culture almost the same if the worlds slate was wiped clean

They never said on the calendar, "This will be the exact date that the world will come to an end, " and now History Channel is feeding the 2012 Theories too.

Maybe he could get a head start as "King" and try to save the world now instead of later. He has alot of time on his hands.

Imagine what the world will be doing on December 20 2012. Theres probably going to be some crazy stuff on the news around that time.

[shotgun]

[dorotwhy]

kamikazewolf0!! Well I guess that's reason enough to have a BIG PARTY now. YOW!

[westside-blue]

The da Vinci's code talks about a new age...and that the end of the world is a common mistake...

[Tomorer]

Pretty funny... most people just fall shaort at sarcastic; this was perfectly sardonic, like a true comedian !!!!

[jesusfreaklol]

[Aracuru]

He's mocking people's fear and is not serious at all. He'll probably starve to death.
