What if it was the end of the world?

It's January 2013 so obviously the end of the world came and went. Here's a list of a few  things you would have missed if it really was the end of the world.

TV and Film
If it really was the end of the world they're be no more Sam, Dean and Cas saving humans from demons in Supernatural. There would be no more seasons of Once Upon A Time. And let's not forget those reality shows - Idol, Dance, etc.

If it really was the end we wouldn't have to sit through 9 hours of The Hobbit. The book is only 240 odd pages long. It takes less than 9 hours to read. Personally, I don't get it.



New Years Eve
If it really was the end of the world they're be no more spectacular fireworks. Dubai was top of the list this 2012/2013 for their effort of swirling fireworks and laser display.

If it really was the end of the world there would be no more new year's resolutions.

Shopping and Technology
If it really was the end of the world there would be no Boxing Day sales.

If it really was the end of the world Apple customers would not have reached more than 40 billion download of apps since July 2008, the company said on Monday, and that doesn't include re-downloads or updates.

Celebrity
If it really was the end of the world Australia wouldn't get the Ellen Degeneres show.

Space
NASA plans to send a ship to the moon in 2019. Why? Apparently it's been too long between visits. Sounds to me like is a case of a nagging relative putting the guilt trip on.

Sport
If it really was the end of the world millions of Americans would not get to watch the NFL Super Bowl. All those packets of potato chips would go uneaten.
