Christian broadcaster Harold Camping sparked worldwide controversy when he predicted that the Christian Rapture (a.k.a. Doomsday) will happen tomorrow, May 21, sparking off a chain of events that will lead to total global destruction a few months later, on Oct. 21.While many skeptics are planning to mark the day by partying like there's no tomorrow, Reuters reports that the Family Radio President plans to watch the apocalypse unfold on TV.
Camping said that he's sure events will be sparked by a massive earthquake on May 21 -- "We know without any shadow of a doubt it is going to happen," he said.
Camping added that, "I'll probably try to be very near a TV or a radio ... I'll be interested in what's happening on the other side of the world as this begins."
Jon Stewart Discusses Two Pending Armageddons on 'The Daily Show' (VIDEO)

Apparently, the world is going to end on Saturday, May 21, 2011. But it's not necessarily for Biblical reasons, as Jon Stewart pointed out on 'The Daily Show' (Weeknights, 11PM ET on Comedy Central)."The world isn't ending May 21st because of God's wrath. It's ending because of a force far more powerful -- the international bond market," he explained.
The U.S. apparently hit its "debt ceiling" -- a bad thing -- on Monday, though fears of an ensuing "Armageddon" proved groundless.
The other apocalypse, due to happen this Saturday, has been predicted by an 89-year old radio host. Now, in order to stave off financial crises until the debt ceiling can be raised -- because that's how you solve these kinds of problems -- the government is taking money from the U.S. pension funds.
