Since the world is scheduled to end on December 21st, one of the satellite services is operating the above-mentioned channel starting November 21st. It is going to show only disaster movies every day until the world ends -- 2012, The Day After Tomorrow, Godzilla, War of the Worlds, Son of Man, Sunshine, etc.
Frankly, I think it is a clever idea. I just hope it isn't too clever.

The same satellite service does the Christmas Channel, so they are clearly hedging their bets.

Are they going to transmit from the Pic de Bugarach?

Actually, on December 21st, they are indeed planning a live non-stop show until midnight from there with numerous soon-to-be-dead guest stars.

Well, they'll have to arrive well in advance. On the radio today I heard the prefecture was going to block access to the area several days beforehand. Not only to keep out the crazies but also the many journalists expected.

What's the Pic de Bugarach, Bjd? You can see I'm not up on my end-of-the-world data.
Hmm -- the 21st, huh? That means I still have to remember my brother's birthday, which is on the 20th.

There's only a little more than a month left, & you think I'm going to waste my time looking things up?!

Does this mean I don't need to worry about completing my Christmas shopping?
