They've gotta get the fear in there early, so people can panic about 2012 and "do what they're told" by TPTB.

All the fear about 2012/2013 is created to keep us from jumping on the Big Boat.

2012 is the end of the Mayan Cycle, we all know that. It's the end of the Old World, beginning of the New World.

Why don't they call it "2012: the Beginning of the World"? Because doom sells papers.

I loved the movie, “The Day after Tomorrow”. I just love disaster movies, especially if there regarding an outcome of possible events. I really don’t care how society portrays the movie. I just know I will have a big smile on my face, with a box of popcorn while I watch the world get destroyed. Hopefully, their science is right regarding this movie. I read the reviews regarding the script; it’s supposed to be pretty much identical to, “The Day after Tomorrow”.
