Lynx 2012 Happy end of the world ad & beyond

[Luthien]

Well, tonight my brother in law sent me this link... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OL75zBfDOao It's a Lynx 'final edition'advertisment heralding the end of the world. In order to make this as painless as possible the main protagonist (man with a can of lynx) first builds a wooden arc, then sprays himself with lynx. All the pretty girls in the land then are drawn to the arc and happy end of the world is both said out loud by the narrator and put in words on the screen. (I have described the ad in case people looking at work don't have access to youtube)
Anyway, my first question is 'does anyone else find this a bit odd?'

I am an open minded person when it comes to discussion of the 'shift', 2012, conspiracies, ufos and well anything interesting that isn't usually accepted by the mainstream media. I don't just take on the ideas of the most recent thing I've seen but like to research the opinion and facts for myself - as much as they can be researched in topics such as this.

What's got me going on this occassion is that the mainstream media seems to be preparing us in some way for a change - but I can't quite put my finger on what exactly they are trying to acheive or why. I first noticed it with the series Ancient Aliens. Think what you will about the program itself, but the fact is that it is :extremely well funded, has now aired for three seasons on the History channel and seems to be able to get all the university experts it desires (with a fair share of nutters thrown in for good measure of course) The last few episodes in season 3 have slightly shifted in their angle. Before they were just talking about the old evidence but now they mention at least once a program the possibility of 'them' returning.

I'm not quite sure where I'm going with all this but wanted to see what if anything you have to say about the ad, ancient aliens or the subject of 2012 for that matter...

Cheers

Clever bastards I say.

They are just scared as they know it isn't a high possibility of anything happening on that day in December 2012. However they post that just encase something does happen so they can say yeah we warned you or some bull crap like that.

This is just like when the scientists predicted that global warming is going to kill the planet and bring so much destruction in the next 50 years. Around that time sky started doing "how to survive ... ?" a random program on how to survive, flooding, extreme heat and even if the uk became a massive desert.

Last ones I sore on the history channel a few weeks ago were the old race basically they had proof of aliens/ufo visiting when humans were in the basic years, also created the stone shrines that are found all over the world.

Everyone is just after a ad that will be eye catching. there is nothing behind it.
Ancient aliens is just so well funded because there are so many stupid people who believe that crap they tell everyone.

[anthony_r6]

Agreed, it's just an ad. Something out of the box, as said already - these conspiracy theories don't get much mainstream attention, or discussed on tv, they're just bringing attention to it to sell their product. They know it's not the end of the world, we sensible people know it's not too. They're not doing it in case the world does end so they can say "I told you so" - that makes no sense. It's like putting a bet on yourself riding into a brick wall and dying. You may be right, but you'll be too dead to brag about it.

That being said, contrary to the advert, I've not met many women who actually like the smell of Lynx.

If the world was about to end, going out and buying a special edition can of Lynx deodorant is somewhere at the bottom of the list of things I'd want to do!

If you look at the media, you've got movies such as 2012 to contend with (which I refused to watch), and TV programmes such as An Idiot Abroad where Karl Pilkington completes his "bucket list". Personally I don't think it's more than a theme.

As far as I know what they're basing it on is Mayan prophecies, and the fact that their calendar doesn't seem to extend beyond 2012. If it happens, it happens, we can't change it. But we've survived this far, beyond the likes of Nostradamus' prophecies! He gave several dates on which the world was to end (just in case one didn't work, I suppose), and has failed on them all.

So to all, God speed!

They should just advertise it as the smell of the gym. The only scent that enables you to look at a guy towelling off his cock without catching the gay.

Presumably Lynx 2012 does not attract Munters !!

Put me down for a Gallon.

[Im-a-Ridah]

LOL just an entertaining marketing scheme.

The real "2012" has already passed us by a year or two ago as our current calendar is inaccurate IIRC!

[Redoko]

Sick of all this 2012 cr@p.



As for the lynx advert. It's about intellectual and deep as the people that wear it.

Lynx just seen a money making op and went for it thats all. Harold Camping did to. So the date is now 21 Dec when nothing happened again on 21st Oct. I wish something would come and take away the crazy Christians with stupid car stickers that actually believe all this. The world would be a better place.

Missed this..

But as much as I'm not one to be 'in' with the 2012 stuff, since there's abolsutely no scientific proof back it; I would like to ask and hear from ANYONE that can provide me undoutbed proof aliens don't exist.

Why would they write about it all over history if it didn't happen? I don't recall record keepers from ancient Egypt and the like telling too many porkies....

Space is so far unmapped beyond our own solar system; we simply cannot mark anywhere as 'off the map' for being lifeless. So it's fair to assume there is, no?

My gosh, we haven't chartered/explored our own deepest oceans yet (take Loch Ness for example; a mere large lake) and 'scientists' want to write off the possibly that we're alone in the universe? and space?? Pull the other fuckin one.

My calendar runs out the end of this month. I suspect the world will go on past this date...

[oldpink]

IIRC the Mayan callender recycles IE after 2012 it goes back to year 1 and starts again
similar to the Chinese where animals come around every 60 years or so

its modern day idiots that imply this means the world will end
