12-21-2012, Total BS?

[Mr. Machette]

Well, it seems there's been a misunderstanding.

According to the media hype many people are convinced that the Mayan calender will end along with the world as we know it on Dec 21st this year. However there is one very noteable exception to this group, the Mayans themselves...

Yup. The Mayans say it's a bunch of hooey and they are pissed that the Guatemalan government has more or less forced them to host millions of touristas comming to shite up their niegborhood for this epic "END OF THE WOOOORLD" bachanalia. In fact they aren't just irritated, they're downright litigious!

What's the opinion of the culture actually responsible for this calendar regarding Dec 21st?

In a statement released by Oxlaljuj Ajpop, the end of the cycle;

"means there will be big changes on the personal, family and community level, so that there is harmony and balance between mankind and nature."

There it is straight from the horses mouth. The world isn't ending (just like it didn't end 5200 years ago the last time their calendar rolled over) It's just the end of an era. According to them, far from an apocalypse, there is supposed to be a renaissance where we treat each other better and become more competent stewards of the garden we live in.

That sounds kind of nice IMHO.

How far off is this hype you might ask? Check this out.

The "Mayan Calendar" that gets trotted out every time one of these moonbat "authorities" starts barking?

That isn't even Mayan. It's Aztec. Totally different civilisation.


This is the Mayan calendar:


Those "experts" on the History channel couldn't even get that part right.

So this December 21st, you can leave your spiked football pads and tire-rubber armor in storage and just hug a loved one instead. According to the people responsible for this calendar, things aren't going to come to a crashing halt, they are just going to get better.

Sorry Mr. Wez. I know you were really excited about that new boa.

Yes. Fantastic documentary! I refuse to visit the south because of that show. The zombies I could tollerate but it just looks humid as hell down there.

You wanna see who else is dissapointed? Check out the expressions on these folks who will have to put up with the massive idiot invasion of their cultural heritage sites:

lol I've heard of this. As a 50% Irish mutt I'd love to see where my family came from (and to hit up the Connemara distillery of course...) but your hatred for obnoxious yank tourists is legendary.

Could y'all tollerate someone who just want's to see the old country but has no illusions of "being Irish, like you people!"?

It's funny, after the archaeology that uncovered the so-called "Mayan Apocalypse" was finished, researchers found more artifacts that clarified the purpose and meaning of the cycles and that what they really show is how developed Mayan astronomy was... but no one cares about any of that. It's the end of the world as we know it because it's "soon".

Find some ancient artifacts, construct a crazy hypothesis....and stop at "End of the World".

Right.

[battlefields]

It's the end of the world as we know it.

And I feel fine.

Seriously, did anyone really believe there would be some cataclysmic disaster or did they, like I did and apparently what was intended, assume it was some shift of mindset, possibly brought on by the global consciousness' realization that we're fucking the world in which we are but caretakers?

[goodlun]

Just makes me wish I was still whole selling Knives, Law Enforcement, and Camping gear. Man Y2K was profitable.
Oh so yeah stupid people, who are worried about a calendar cycle ending are quite awesome.

Millions believed Harold Camping, who used weird, arbitrary Biblical numerology to predict the world would end May 21st then October 21st last year.

Remember this?
