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!
