Well, it's a new week. Apparently the world ended on Saturday not with a bang, but with a whimper. If you're reading this, you're apparently a hopeless sinner, doomed to five months or so of torment before being sent to the fiery pits of hell, or perhaps (just maybe) Harold Camping was wrong.
Christianity tends to get a pass in our society. The most outrageous ideas popping out of the mouths of the sincerely religious are allowed to stand unchallenged (although other religions don't get the same respect).
But not this time, really. Most of us heard about Camping and his idiotic ideas, and most of us thought he was an idiot. But there were some poor gullible bastards who were taken in. Many of them were taken in completely.
A man in Nairobi killed himself because of Camping's prediction. A man in California tried to euthanize his pets. People have spent their life savings, families were torn apart.
And a woman in Antelope Valley tried to kill herself and her two daughters, by slitting their throats and wrists.
Fortunately, "murder/suicide" now joins "spotting fraud" as just another thing she sucked at.
Some people suggested that Camping had emailed a suicide note to the Family Radio employees and killed himself. Sadly, that didn't prove to be the case. He showed up the next day, confused that he'd proven to be a lying sack of fuck. As I write this, the Family Radio website hasn't changed their "Judgement Day - May 21, 2011" screen:
But I clicked on that microphone in the upper right, and that vicious, unwavering bastard is holding a press conference claiming that God has now judged the world, and it will still end on October 21st.
This evil fucknozzle has earned over a hundred million dollars with this scam, and he is still trying to keep it going.
The saddest part to all this is, Camping's followers will most likely just become more devout because of this. What needs to happen is that his victims need to sue him for his immoral con game. But it won't happen.
Because the one thing that lasts forever is stupidity.

When I learned the asshat was spending his devote's money instead of his own $70 million plus I knew it was a fraud, not that I would have believed it anyway.
"Sack of fuck," "fucknozzle," and "asshat" are my new favorite words on the planet.
