Four days to go until the Mayan Doomsday - and there's a rush on for bomb-proof survival bunkers (complete with leather sofas and plasma screen TVs)

What the fuck is wrong with these people?!? Firstly, believing in the end of the world is fucking nutso. But then, once they've done that, they seem to think that a bomb shelter will save them from a biblical-like apocalypse. What's wrong with this scenario?

We pass a very serious bunker complex about once a week on average.

Fear is an easy sell.

I'm guessing it wasn't built today or yesterday, but dates back oh, 40 or 50 years or so ...

"Yes we're gonna have a wingding
A summer smoker underground
It's just a dugout that my dad built
In case the reds decide to push the button down
We've got provisions and lots of beer
The key word is survival on the new frontier"

Actually, it belonged to two friends of mine, the ones who wanted to put a V-1 motor on a deLorean at one point. It was dug into a hill behind their house on a sideroad near here. From the outside, heck from the INSIDE, you can't tell it's there. The ventilation vents are disguised as dead tree trunks, etc. "Bert and Ernie", as I called them for years, have since moved to Montana to be in a co-op. They'll be sending me "You shoulda come out here, man!" messages in the next few days.
