At the rate things are going, I’m looking at 2010.

What human teeth around my neck? Doesn't this look like a trusting face bro? What do you mean am I a member of the bloods?
Man, you guys sought me out. What a tough crowd.

“zero days, zero hope”.
Gosh, you could build a presidential campaign on that! Just like the “bridge to the 21st century".
Naturally the elections could not be connected to this all-media chant of doom in 2012, you'd need MSM, the Print Press, Hollywood, the Gorebots, the Greens, Greenpeace, The View, and a dozen Internet sources acting in concert to pull it off, and that's just plain ridiculous.

The trailer looks like an overblown version of the chase scenes from the Blues Brothers movie.

The origin was that a bunch of bored, drunk Mayans thousands of years ago said “let’s screw with the next generation by picking a date..let’s make it 2012..yeah, that’s funny dudes, now cut off the head of that virgin..”

Actually, it all depends whether zero gets re-elected in 2012.

The Mayan calendar, or, precisely, calendars, because there is a long count calendar and a short count calendar, is circular, rather than linear like ours. And the two intersect as interlocking gears. They, and Mayan time, keep turning. There is no "cosmic clock finally winding down to zero days." Instead, the "wheels" turn, the cogs of their gears re-engage, and a new cycle starts. I believe the illustration you used has been cropped to remove the long count calendar. You can see both, and how they are enmeshed, here.

Mayans I have met are not stupid. Every last New Ager I have met is quite stupid, however.

The Jewish calendar also ends in 2012. It does not go beyond 7,000 years.

Are the Mayans those recently entered asylum seekers I see at 7-11 every morning? They sure like our donuts.

We won’t be around for 2012. Y2K is going to kill us all.
