Save yourself for only $24.95! Remembering Y2K televangelism...

Remeber the Y2K panic? When everyone secretly wondered if the world would collapse at midnight on December 31, 1999? Some people scoffed, some prepared for the impending doom by filling buckets and bathtubs with water and by hoarding twinkies, and televangelists went crazy selling end of times prophecy videos.

Jack Van Impe, A.K.A The Walking Bible, and his wife Rexella were two such televangelists. They strongly believed (or said they believed) that the world as we knew it would end on January 1, 2000 and they scurried to sell their "emergency" end of times video called '2000 Time Bomb' for $24.95. I don't know how a crummy video was supposed to save people but here's a clip of the Van Impes in action:



The Van Impes currently sell a video about the world ending in 2012 but this time they have phrased their paranoia in the form of a question, 'December 21st 2012-History's final day?' Better safe than sorry...

Jesus is on Youtube...

That's right.

Jesus Christs has signed up for a Youtube account and has even posted a few videos. Sadly, he moderates all comments and is not open to discussion at all. Who knew Jesus' ego was so fragile?

Anyway, Jesus III, as he calls himself, also runs a creepy website where in a monotone voice he talks about the end of the world and charges $10 plus shipping and handling for forgiveness and wisdom CDs. According to his website, he'll soon be accepting Paypal and checks; after all, Jesus needs the money to play the slots in heaven...



Did you have a reaction? You may be one of the 144000.....or you may be asleep...

Jesus on why he waited so damn long to come forward:
