OK, so hard as it was, we tore ourselves away from last night's Battlestar Galactica marathon -- OMG OMG OMG! -- and watched History Channel's Nostradamus: 2012,
an exploration of the noted Middle Ages seer and his supposed
predictions about worldwide catastrophe in four years, which normally
we'd have a, maaaaybe, mild-to-medium interest in, but we've got a good
friend who's CONVINCED that 2012 is, in fact, gonna be some hardcore
shit, even though how hard can it be when this? So we watched.
And?
Well, it was mostly a bunch of horseshit. It was sort of as if the
History Channel had jammed a bunch of their other documentaries on the
environment, astronomy, and (wha?) history, and slapped the number 2012
on it. Imagine An Inconvienent Truth with more historical
re-enactments, obnoxious music, and a little rhyming and you sort of
get the idea. Not very scary stuff, unless you scared by "experts" with
funny facial hair and SNOOOOZE.
But there was one thing that did
scare us senseless: The Snuggie! Have you seen this commercial? It's a
CULT, we tell you! SOYLENT GREEN IS SNUGGIES!
