    Marketing armageddon

    My son reminded me of a conversation we had last summer.
    He said "we dont hear anything about 2012 being the end of life on earth any more,you must have been right".

    A few months before the movie hit theaters I was taking a break from mowing the lawn, when my son approached me and expressed his worries about all the talk of the end of life scheduled for 2012.
    I listened to him talk, clearly seeing his dismay as he recounted all the things he would never get a chance to do.
    I let him finish then simply asked him:How long do you think it takes to put together a big budget movie loaded with special effects? He answered he didnt know,so I told him: About 2 yrs.And how long have we been hearing about this incoming disaster?About 2 years.
    I assured him that all these rumors were engineered by Hollywood as "free" publicity for the upcoming fall release of 2012 and by the time the movie becomes available for dvd/blueray,we would not hear much anymore about the supposed impending doom awaiting all life on earth.
    He looked at me kinda funny and went out with his friends.
    The other day we saw a commercial for the dvd release and he said "its been a while since we heard anything about this hasnt it?"
    Couldnt resist saying told you so.
    He doesnt seem to worry about that anymore,he spends most of his worry time on girls these days.And thats just right.
    I think I set his mind at ease.
    My worry is I hope I am right on this one.
