The very next year is 2012, year of the (So called) apocalypse. But we all know its Bull at this point, but I wanna ask you this:

How many major channels/news station will pull a prank saying the world is actually ending in Dec. 2012? If they do that, the world will be very scared, then after they said it was a prank, there will be LOTS of hate. Lol.

But, what do you think?

I don't think any news caster would do that. Isn't it against the law?

War of the Worlds happened, so this may happen. But there will obviously be multiple stunts by crazy people, cultists, conspiracy theorists, and crazy religious people. Normal news stations know the consequences of such an anticipated event and they can be tried for indirect/direct influence or "manipulation" of the people to commit unlawful acts.

Hopefully Fox news tries this, then.

That way, although the world won't end, the world will end up as a much better place

Fox is already a candidate for similar reasons, but something like this would finally be able to propel it into the courts. Fox is only around because of rich *insert derogatory terms here*
