2012 Shorewood Rewind

If the world ends this year, will Shorewood still be all right?

There's a good chance the world might end this year. At least if you believe what Kotaku calls the "doomsday writings from Columbus and poorly-translated and agenda-riddled works from 19th century European scholars."

So yeah, it's probably going to happen. There was a movie about it and everything. And it's really too bad it has to end this way. But it would be less bad if somehow survived the impending apocalypse. Actually, as long as Shorewood came out all right, it wouldn't be so very bad at all.

Someone should get to work on this. Maybe Shorewood's ESDA guys could check the movie out and look for ideas. We haven't seen the film ourselves but from what we understand John Cusack saves the day. The people at ESDA might be able to take some pointers from him so they can save Shorewood. And fast, as it looks like we're running out of time.
