I wouldn't mind all of this mass hysteria that's surrounding this "2012" phenomenon. Literally, so many freaking apocalypse theories arise all the time, but only a lucky few ever make it to see the light of day. Y2K? Alien takeover? I don't know, but having thousands of apocalypse theories out there kind of just make them all sound like crap.
Mass hysteria. It's pretty easy to induce actually. A lot easier than one would think. Hell, if someone wanted to induce a mass hysteria, all they'd have to do is write some report on "New strain of H1N1 found at New York Burger Kings". Pretty damn sure that the Emergency Rooms of Hospitals in the area of the highest obesity rates will just flood with paranoid health freaks. (Funny how that works, eh? People who eat garbage food concerned with their health.) It's good business, people buy into the advertisements, the news reports, all of it - than they head off to the Hospitals, the insurance companies rack up - and said person turns out healthy. Lovely, everyone wins in the end.
Apocalypse theories, I wonder how many people are benefiting off of peoples fears. One thing people really don't take into account is, well, if the world is really going to end, a flame-retardant tent and 100 cans of Goya aren't going to do much. What else is there to do?
As depicted in the movie "2012" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1190080/), there are supposed to be giant Tsunami's hundreds of feet in the air, massive Earth quakes leaving nothing but death in it's path, and super volcano's turning everything to ash. Obviously a dramatization for entertainment purposes, but what's scary is that people believe it to be an accurate depiction of the apocalypse. Well what's the point in being scared then?

We're all going to die anyway. Might as well get a bottle of liquor or some shrooms and have a blast looking at all the awesome life-ending things.
I find it personally annoying that every day, at any given moment - there is something on TV or a radio station that deals with this 2012 poppycock.
The Mayan civilization was able predict events, and create an accurate calendar. Their calender was stopped December 21st, 2012. We take their calendar as the end-all-be-all, because they predicted the calendar so accurately such a long time ago. Yet, these are the same people that sacrificed virgins - what a credible source.

Want to know how to cause mass hysteria easily? Involves a little money, some paint, and risking going to jail. Get three non-lethal snakes, pigs, whatever the animal of your choice is (non-lethal - most people are morons not knowing that releasing a lethal animal in a public area might result in a death.) Paint the numbers on the animals as follows "1", "2", and "4". Release them into a public area, maybe a park, a school, or a train station. Once all the animals are found, everyone will be scared because "3" is missing. Simple. Easy. Convenient.
It just goes to show that sometimes, letting one's imagination take over can be a bad thing.
The verdict:
2012 is fake. If it is real though, who cares? We're all going to die, unless somehow by then commercial space shuttles are available.
Maybe this is just propaganda by all those eco-friendly companies?
