Today's Sign of the Apocalypse: Lou Pearlman in Prison

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: Boy band mogul Lou Pearlman (Backstreet Boys, 'N Sync, O-Town) is sentenced to 25 years in prison for defrauding investors.

WHY THAT'S A SIGN: Cut off from their dreams of stardom (and being bilked and molested), thousands of gorgeous young Orlando males turn to militant Islam.

WHAT TO EXPECT: "Uh yeah, Kennedy Airport? This is Homeland Security--we have an APB out on a hostile being described as 'the cute one...

WHY THAT'S GREAT NEWS: Reeling from deadly pop-star-terrorism, America orders all 'momagers' rounded up and forced at gunpoint to obtain lives of their own.
