What do you think about companies using the end of the world theme for advertising? Leave your comment below.
i've noticed it too. prepping has gone main stream. what does that mean? it means that a bunch of yuppie get rich quickers are going to be out there trying to fleece us all of our hard earned cash.
its a shame too. alot of people that got started late are going to get robbed because they're following a trend instead of looking around and seeing that a change of lifestyle is needed to really get ready.
I think most of the ads are funny. Hey if it gets a couple more people prepping that is a good thing. re solomon: If they get taken from get rich quick yuppies, my guess is they would get taken in some other way as well. So for the masses it is a good thing.
Nice compilation
