Escape the Armageddon on 2012!
by Rajesh Natarajan
There’s a company out called EcsapeEarth2012 that’s offering you the chance to leave this dumb planet before everything explodes come December 21, 2012. So, you buy a ticket, then if the apocalypse does, in fact, arrive, you board the spaceship and it takes you to a brand new planet, one that’s fit for humans.
The offer is both real and a joke all at the same time. It’s real in that you can book a ticket right now, and it’s real in that the company will mail you a ticket (and travel package!) to board the USS Ark. The package costs $14.49, which is about the price of a Marcus movie in Appleton.
It’s a joke in that, if there really is an apocalypse and you don’t survive the plane trip over to New Earth then you get your money back. See for yourself!
