This series will detail how our world will end, and how we will change our climate into a formidable foe.
Shows like this have been popping up on many networks, and it got me thinking if there is any
connection to the rise in apocalyptic fervor during the literary modernist era and Great Depression, and
the fact that we are in the second largest economic downturn since the country hit rock bottom
in the 30's.
Now, the apocalypse is a hot topic and has been so in the last few years. Movies like "The Day after Tomorrow" and "The Core", tickled the viewers curiosity in how our world will react when we are close to the end. But now, MSNBC is giving us a play-by-play on how we are going to go off this planet, instead of giving us wholesome programming like "To Catch A Predator", yeah. Anyway, this county needs not shows that scare us and ponder on our apocalypse, but rather informative shows on how we can make the biggest positive impacts on our world now. Perhaps it is the despair that coincides with economic woes that makes us turn to apocalyptic subject-matter. For me, I will stick to the one and true gospel for how to act, "The Simspons".
The show will premiere on April 26th. I will be watching it in my bomb shelter.
