It looks like the campaign to screen the classic action movie Terminator 2: Judgement Day on the same day as the prophesied end of the world has stepped it up a notch.

The fringe Christian organization that believes the world will come to an end on May 21 has launched a world-wide billboard campaign to persuade us to repent before the big day on Saturday. You can find the billboard on the corner of Horton and Richmond streets in London.

Someone in London, it seems, has created a marketing campaign to get Londoners to attend an 'open-air' screening of T2 on the same street corner as the giant damnnating billboard.

I spotted these posters along Dundas St on my way to work yesterday. There is also a FUSE event page made for the screening. http://londonfuse.ca/event/judgment-day-judgment-day

Is the end near? Could Arnold Schwarzenegger's (the Terminator's) failed marriage be the first sign of the apocalypse?

Is anyone going to the T2 screening to await the final judgment?

did anyone go to this, or know who put up the posters? Seemed like a great idea

Reports are so far that this was a hoax, sort of like the real judgment day.

I did yeah lol. Nothing happening. I am writing a short article on the double lack of judgement day on Saturday night, does anyone know how I might find out who posted the event?

I will try to get in touch with the person that I think may be behind this campaign. I don't know for sure though. Don't worry, kuehn, you weren't the only only duped into attending the screening.
