Haha I saw that last night when I was watching South Park.  Load of bull.  They were like "The chosen will be able to replenish the human life form" or some fucking shit like that haha.

I vote Tingas for world leader.  This could be like a real life drawball, NS take over the human race haha.  I just watched the trailer for the movie and it looks kinda sick.  I like those kind of movies.

I think that movie looks like the biggest piece of shit ever, and its just gonna scare people if anything, why make a movie about it???? i think they should stfu and burn the tape because it will be a horrible movie. saw posters of it downtown van, three in a row.  kinda forget what it said but it was something like
"the mayans were right" "the end is coming" "its all our fault"
the third one is wrong, but it was giving that message.

i have not seen the trailer yet, but i went to the website the creator posted.

people can believe what they want to believe but is everybody to young to remember the year 2000? people thought that the computers could not count past 1999 so the world thought the computers would crash and life as we knew it were over.

if i recall correctly, people were stockpiling food, filling up their bathtubs with water and im pretty sure people were even committing suicide? WTF

Oh, and if something does hit us in 2012 do you think our government will not protect our presidency and our system of power? Good luck coming out of that mess and saying,

"yeah, i was elected leader of the new world so.....um...... yeah..... screw you president?"

its just a way to sell a hollywood video because hollywood sucks at making actually good movies anymore. haha
