The End Of The World (Dec. 21, 2012) Is Right Around The Corner

"Two major U.S. restaurant chains are getting in on the hoopla over the pending end of the world as predicted by the ancient Mayan calendar.

Carl's Jr. this week unveiled a massive 21x21x21-inch hamburger that was painstakingly crafted by the gang in the fast-food giant's test kitchen in honor of the catastrophe predicted for Dec. 21.

The 'Last Friday' campaign by T.G.I Friday's includes apocalypse eve bashes in Los Angeles and other major U.S. cities. The final fun for customers includes dancing, free use of the photo booths and Mayan Margaritas. Proceeds go to charity."


With all due respect, I don't want to usher in the End of the World at a fast food joint or a franchise restaurant chain.

I don't want to face the Apocalypse suffering from Montezuma's revenge - Carl's Jr. is a definite no.

The "Last Friday" campaign should be renamed "T.G.I.T Apocalypse", many of us are yearning for a brand new start for our little blue planet.

I don't want to be out in public on Dec. 21; I will be home smoking a joint, munching on Doritos, petting my cat, rubbing my dog, waiting for sweet oblivion.
