    By 2017 the world economy has collapsed. Food, natural resources and oil are in short supply. A police state, divided into paramilitary zones, rules with an iron hand.

    Just watched the running man last night. Epic Film :) "What happened to Buzzsaw?" ... "He had to split". :D

    World economy gone to crap and reality tv shows keeping people occupied... wow good guess.

    It's be funny if the world actually did end for once, just to shut up the cynics and let the conspiracy theorists have their day.

    Nope that was religion.

    TV is more akin to crystal meth.

    Maybe he was with the opium quote ...the bigger than christ quote which was just him expressing the Beatlemania phonomana that was happening around the world but he was misquoted by the bible belt crowd in America
