FLASH! The End Is Near!

[Mickey Richaud]

The Rev. William Peake in Iowa once wondered HOW THE MEDIA WOULD HANDLE THE END OF THE WORLD and he put together a few possible headlines. Here is a sample of what he wrote:

USA Today:
WE'RE DEAD.

Wall Street Journal:
Dow Jones Plummets as World Ends.

National Enquirer:
O.J. and Nicole, Together Again.

Inc. Magazine:
10 Ways You Can Profit From the Apocalypse.

Rolling Stone:
The Grateful Dead Reunion Tour.

Sports Illustrated:
Game Over.

Playboy:
Girls of the Apocalypse.

Ladies' Home Journal:
Lose 10 Pounds by Judgment Day with Our New "Armageddon" Diet!

TV Guide:
Death and Damnation: Nielsen Ratings Soar!

Discover Magazine:
How will the extinction of all life as we know it affect the way we view the cosmos?

Microsoft's Web Site:
If you don't experience the rapture, DOWNLOAD Software patch
RAPT777.EXE.

Excellent, Mickey!

A reminder of how differently we see things, depending on our point of view and bias.

In Canada they would report on the CBC: "News Flash, World Ends At Midnight, 12:30 in Newfoundland"

But Doc, my wife suggested it, and she's from out there in the seafaring world.
