Camping's PR aide, Tom Evans, told the L.A.

"You can imagine we're pretty disappointed..."

Emphasis mine.

Anyone else feel a little slighted that he's disappointed that 97% of the world's population didn't get to suffer unparalleled cataclysm?

Yeah he's an ***. I feel like they should seize his assets or something and use that money for some worthwhile cause like helping stop genocide or helping refugees or something along those lines. I mean if he was really concerned with helping people I think he'd be doing something along those lines than convincing his followers to blow their savings and such. I really feel bad for the children of these followers, I wonder how many had all their savings towards an education blown away... (sorry if that's been mentioned before).
 
The end of the world is now October 21. Or will that turn out to be translucent judgement day, not as hard to witness as invisible judgement day, but still hard to spot.

If that fails it will be November 24 (oh, wait, that will mess up thanksgiving) I meant December 25 (oh yea, christmas, can't have the world end on Jesus' birthday) I mean it will be ........

Anyone seeing a little bit of a pattern here? Kind of like this guy has almost as much of a clue about the end of the world as the average bacteria has.

I agree with it in spirit, but I'd be concerned about the legal precedent it would set.

Update on Yahoo today:

"A California woman named Lyn Benedetto was one of millions who heard Camping's message, and became concerned that her daughters would suffer terribly in the coming apocalypse. She allegedly forced her daughters, 11 and 14, to lie on a bed and then cut their throats with a box cutter. She then tried to kill herself, though police arrested Benedetto and all three survived."
