IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD!...again

Last August I wrote about a fool who spent a bunch of money on bus ads proclaiming the end of the world as May 21, 2011. Well folks, this is it! Nice knowin' ya.

Licensed to Ukiah, California, KPRA is one of about 160 stations and translators in the Family Radio Christian Network based in Oakland. Family Radio was founded in 1959 by Harold Camping who also predicted that the world would end back in 1994.

UPDATE: After being "mystified" and "bewildered" that his prediction didn't come true, Camping now says that today's Judgment Day was spiritual not physical. The actual end of the world will now be October 21st.
