How Harold Camping Marketed the RaptureSelf-made prophet with $117 million radio network spreads worldwide message that the Apocalypse will begin at 6 p.m. ET Saturday.(CBS News)
LOS ANGELES - Some Americans have extreme plans this weekend. A religious leader named Harold Camping has convinced them the end of the world starts at 6 p.m. ET Saturday. Most of the world's faithful do not believe the date is Judgment Day. But as CBS News correspondent Bill Whitaker reports, it seems just about everyone's seen the signs about the end of the world. "May 21st, 2011 is the day of judgment," a Family Radio ad says. It's a prophecy aggressively peddled by 89-year-old Harold Camping, a civil engineer and self-taught Biblical sage. "You and I are living at the time of the end of the world," Camping says. |

I hope somebody has the good sense to open a serious can of woopass on this old fool when this is over. Stupid people shouldn't be in charge of anything more important than a Church picnic.

that besides the obvious that only God knows the real day and time, here in anchorage, alaska, 90.3 is knba, a public radio station that mostly has ak native programs, and sometimes hawaiian or spanish? for real live christian-specific radio, 88.5 and 89.3 (added bonus: no commercials). kafc is ok but they have a lot of ads, esp. "go see cal" and for abt.

Well if the world id gonna end Mortimer, the water and sardines are not going to do you much good. I guess now would be as good a time as evert to say " If in Heaven we do not dwell, Hand in hand we will stand in HeII."
