Today's Sign of the Apocalypse: Gay Marriage

Rob Kutner | Bio


My new book, Apocalypse How, is about how the world is about to end...and why we should be psyched! It's the first-ever work of apocalyptic literature that "accentuates the positive"--and teaches you how to not just survive, but thrive. As with any exciting new endeavor, however, the key to thriving in a post-apocalyptic world is PREPARATION. In that spirit, I'll be alerting you whenever I spot a sign of our impending doom--or should I say, your impending opportunity!

SIGN: California Supreme Court overturns ban on gay marriage.
WHY THAT'S A SIGN: Subsequent stampede into California will cause it to break off, making all those who bought "beachfront property in Nevada" millionaires overnight.
WHAT TO EXPECT: The so-called "nouveau-riche-et-stupide" will pass on their social and educational advantages to their children, completely reversing millennia of natural selection.
WHY THAT'S GREAT NEWS: Pterodactyls! COOL!
HOW TO PREPARE: A rise in gay marriages will lead to a rise in gay divorcees. So it would behoove you to learn to dance like Fred. Or Ginger. Or if you live in California, both.
