I have lost count of the amount of times that some lunatic has predicted that the world is going to end during my life time, only for everyone to laugh at them and then laugh even louder when the day passes and we are all still here carrying on with our lives as normal.

So why is it that this latest one has developed so much media coverage? Today Sky News was covering the absolute nonsense that the Mayans ‘predicted’ the world would end for almost the entire day and sending a news team to a mountain where they believe aliens are hiding and tomorrow they will come out of the mountain and rescue as many of us as possible. They were treating this as breaking news.

Are you fucking kidding me?

What is even worse is there are THOUSANDS of people flocking to this mountain in the hope that they will be rescued. People say we are the most intelligent species on the planet, it is moments like this that make me question it.
