Marketing Fun And Hysteria With 6/6/06
This link comes courtesy of my friend Jim.
June 6, 2006. Yeah, that's 6/6/06. Scared yet? Well, some people are. The Apocalypse has been predicted to start then with the birth of the Antichrist. Mothers-to-be are nervous that they're going to be the one to release the spawn of Satan. Here's a conundrum for the Religious Right: If a woman has an abortion because she's carrying the Antichrist, is it ok? What if her due date is 6/6/06? If that's truly the birthdate of the Antichrist, would it be ok for all women scheduled to give birth that day to have abortions, just to be safe?
No, neither Ronald Wilson Reagan nor George Walker BushJr are the antichrist. Puh-leeeze people. It ain't that easy. Then again, since it's not 6/6/06 on either the Chinese, Jewish, or other calendars, will they be spared the wrath of the Antichrist? Or maybe, just maybe, God isn't going to be that obvious either. :)
The date also presents a host of marketing opportunities for the entertainment industry. It's an opportunity that they couldn't refuse. I knew about the new SLAYER! album on that day but apparently the remake of The Omen (did we really need a remake?) will be released then too.
So what does this mean for 7/7/07? Will a bunch of pregnant women claim that they've given birth to the Messiah on that day? "I didn't have sex, honest! I'm still a virgin." Maybe Christian rock bands will have a bunch of new releases proclaiming the return of the King of Kings. Maybe we'll get some movies too. After all, The Chronicles of Narnia, with its underlying Christian theme, and The Passion of the Christ, with its sadistic portrayal of Christ's death, were big hits. Bet get to work guys, you've only got a year, and a month, and a week to go!
Get your Jesus Pan now!

I'll admit I'm not psyched to take the subway or work in my Manhattan office building on that day.
It's not The Beast of the Antichrist I fear . . . just one of the many assholes in the world.
