I have come to conclusion that this is the most popular of all dates because of the curse and helpfulness of the internet. Research shows that Mr. Camping made a prediction in 1992, by writing a book. I was 12 in 1992. I was not aware of his 1992 prediction about 1994 being the end of the world. I did although know that Skynet came online around 1997 via the Terminator movies. I knew about the Terminator not via the internet, but via the TV. Family radio used the internet for it's progression and in turn, we now all know about this May 21st 2011.
I first found out about May 21st via a sticker on an apartment door when I used to patrol as a housing police officer a few years back. I saw the sticker plastered on this apartment door on the 3rd floor. It intrigued me to check it out towards the end of my duties as an officer with the department. I was floored with all the advertising. Now with the date closing upon us, it is everywhere. Billboards, TV, radio, nightly news. You name it.
If there was no internet, this day would come and pass and Mr. Camping would not even be famous.
