Can I get a WTF?

[elevated_u2_fan]

This is by no means a serious post or anything and maybe it's just the cold medication talking but I found this humorous:

@ 32 Seconds

I don't speak Spanish, can someone tell what this crackpot is talking about?

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

WTF?

That video scared the shit out of me.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

2012 dude, start preparing...

I just hope Bono will be OK...

 

[flybabe]

Damn,someone definitely has issues.

That was Italian.
The usual end-of-the-world video, probably related to the 21 Dec 2012 aka the end of the ancient Maya calendar/supposed end of the world date.

I think it's Italian. 12/23/2012 is the date the Mayan Calendar ends. Basically, we're fucked. I think there's a few possibilities - 1.) Time just stops. And then it would restart and we'd do it all over again, maybe getting to 12/24/2012 the next time. 2.) The Universe begins to stop expanding, the Big Crunch begins. 3.) The Earth explodes. 4.) Time begins to go backwards. I guess there's a few more possibilities, but those are the most likely.

that's what I figured, is there any reason given for why The shaded one is included?

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I really hope the world doesn't end in 2012. There's still a lot of stuff I need to do.

Wasted opportunities!

Elfa, didn't you predict a Leafs Cup victory in 2012? It all makes sense now!

 

[BoMac]

By the way, the translation is:

The Earth is again in danger, but this time there won't be anyone to save it. The Mayans tried to warn us but, alas, it is too late.

yeaaah ill just be graduating then. that would suck majorly

I don't speak Italian, but I can sort of see the logic behind this video if I place myself into William of Saint-Amour's 13th-century eschatological mindframe: Bono's charitable crusades somewhat mirror those of the hypocritical friars (i.e. he pleads on behalf of the poor, yet he maintains a physique of considerable girth); friars are physical manifestations of the false apostles mentioned in the Bible; the false apostles will usher in the Antichrist; kabloom, it's the end of the world.

So, yeah, Bono's going to cause the apocalypse. I just hope he'll be okay once the dust settles and the horsemen ride away.

 

[UberBeaver]

I thought it was saying Bono and Manson would do a duet, but then again, I was looking at it through a Thomas Aquinas mindset - not a William de San Amour. So I can see where you're coming from, but I think the optimism of world peace with Bono and Chuck hugging whilst humming the theme from Peanuts is just....lovely - in a HOLY FUCK THE WORLD IS SO ENDING kind of way.

 

[corianderstem]

But I don't want the world to end in 2012. I mean, where am I going to keep all my stuff after that?

And there's a picture of your doll on it.

Wrong doll!

I think that the period between 2008-2012 will be the best in musical history, and the era's sheer awesomeness will cause the planet to implode.

Touché, Mr. Beav. Touché.

Although, I do rather like the image that my interpretation evokes...Bono as a fat, balding friar (riding on an exhausted donkey, possibly) cheerfully peddling red mobile phones and Edun products to unsuspecting commoners.
