Signs of The Apocalypse

The world is coming to an end, just as pictured above.

How do I know this?

Not because the Mayans said that 2012 would be the last year existence and someone has made a very big budget movie out of the premise that is coming to theatres soon.

No, I have other reasons.

Jon and Kate Gosselin are two of the biggest stars in the world right now, that's reason #1. Here are two people who are ostensibly famous because they had six kids at once and have eight kids in total.

Wow... too bad my great grandparents were born when they were. They had 11 kids and surely would have made for some quality TLC programming.

Next, we're a nation of hypochondriacs or at the very least, pansies.

Acid reflux isn't a disease like the latest commercial for a "cure" tries to convince you. Polio is a disease. Cancer is a disease. Diseases can't be cured by a pill you can buy off the shelf at your local drugstore.

Acid reflux is a pain in the ass reaction to hammering back way too much spicy food or what causes Ashley Simpson to sing the wrong song on Saturday Night Life, but it is certainly not a disease.

DeVry is now a university. While it used to be the place you turned when community college wasn't even an option, now you can roll into one of forty thousand former DeVry Institutes in the world and get the same degree I spent $10,000 earning at the University of Waterloo.

Granted, I didn't work all that hard and couldn't tell you where my actual degree is right now, but still, DeVry is not a university.

Lady Gaga is one of the top-selling artists in the world, everything is created so that it can be used or viewed on your iPhone, and they now how shows to discuss shows after the initial show is aired.

Seriously, is there really a need to have a bunch of people sitting around, talking about what just happened on The Hills or The City or The Bachelor?

How else do you explain it than the coming of the apocalypse?

It's either the apocalypse or we're slowly becoming a nation of complete morons.

Either way, I hope it ends soon.

Note: sorry we're so late today... the Internet has been being stupid around here lately. Won't happen again.
