Wigging Out Again

Wow. It turns out that the Institute for Human Continuity thing was just a scam to get more people to possibly be interested in their movie, 2012. I thought it was just a bunch of nut jobs. :T

But honestly, did they really expect anyone to believe this?

The Mayan calendar predicts it, and modern science confirms that in the year 2012, an unprecedented solar occurrence will have a devastating impact on our planet. But for the past decade, we here at the Institute for Human Continuity have been preparing for the inevitable, and have even created a lottery to give everyone an equal opportunity for survival. Visit us at TheIHC.com to ensure the end is just the beginning.

This sounds familiar though I can't quite put my finger on what it's similar to...

That'd be creepy. :/

Of course, any true believer would believe it. Having a Twitter page with contests kind of pines away at its credibility though.

If anyone's curious, the title of this entry refers to this little marketing scheme (Bridezilla, in case the link doesn't work) to make "wigging out" a popular term "again" so some company can use it in their slogan and be SOOPAH KEWL!

I don't think it worked. o_O
