It's about time someone did a send-up of all this stupid Mayan adulation.
The Mayans weren't so clever. Who cares when their calendar ends? I'm sick
of all this worship of indigenous cultures, which is just another form of
self-hatred, the notion that Western culture knows nothing and is worth
nothing. I love Western culture. It has created everything I love and hold
dear. Long may it flourish. Enough of this multicultural soup that we're
all forced to swim in.

Unable to resist the temptation, I did a reverse number lookup on the
phone number listed in this article. It's the number of the
Westboro Baptist Church. Very funny.

Guatemala City � The Maya people are excited to finally release
their new calendar for the next 5,125 years on December 21st, 2012.
It's a follow up to the popular Mayan calendar that's been
around for the last 5,125 years. This new edition will be released in
both a stone and paperback version. It will also include a swimsuit
edition featuring some of today's most beautiful Maya woman.
The first Mayan calendar was published on August 13th, 3114 B.C. and
was not received well by critics. Most of them pointing out that no one
wants a calendar lasting more than a year or two. Also many critics were
quick to say that it will probably freak some people out when December
21st, 2012 comes around.
Paul Horner, one of the senior editors on the new Mayan calendar
project spoke to reporters today at a press conference in Guatemala
City. This new Mayan calendar is a must for any fans of the
previous calendar. It would make a great gift or stocking stuffer for
anyone young and old, Horner said. It's been a real
pleasure working with the Mayan people on this new calendar. From our
family to yours, here's wishing your next 5,125 years to be full of
love and adventure.
The paperback version of the new Mayan calendar will be approximately
61,500 pages long and include an elegant leather binding. The stone
version weighs only 213 lbs and comes with a fine marble finish. Both
the stone and paperback version will retail at $13,999.99 and can be
bought online or at your local bookstore. For any questions please call
the 24-hour Mayan Calendar Hotline at (785) 273-0325.
This new Mayan calendar is a must for any fans of the previous
calendar.
