Prime Minister Gillard: End of the world is coming, good luck

Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard weighed into the debate about whether the world will end on December 21 under the Mayan calendar in a spoof video about Korean pop and flesh-eating zombies.

In a one-minute video address recorded for the youth radio station Triple J, a sombre-looking Gillard said the pending apocalypse was at hand despite there being no proof found by the “best and brightest” government scientists.

“My dear remaining fellow Australians, the end of the world is coming,” she said, tongue in cheek.

“Whether the final blow comes from flesh-eating zombies, demonic hell-beasts or from the total triumph of K-Pop, if you know one thing about me it is this — I will always fight for you to the very end.”

Who knows? Maybe December 21st is the day when WWIII happens.....or when the world starts to undergo "Venus Syndrome". Maybe Aliens come down from the skies and proclaim themselves to be gods above us all. Or, hell, maybe the Illuminati finally reveal themselves to be the true forces behind World War I, Saudi Arabia, the Cold War, Justin Bieber, gangsta rap, and George W. Bush.....(I do love poking fun at wacky end-of-the-world theories, I gotta be honest).
