The clock is ticking. The days are numbered. Are we really on the eve of destruction? Nahhhh....PROFITS OF DOOM is an irreverent, whimsical expose of the age-old doomsday for profit industry, and the ultimate antidote to all the doom and gloom that permeates our society at this time. It explores — and debunks — everything from the misrepresentation of Biblical prophecies to the wildly inaccurate predictions of modern day “psychics” to Hollywood’s lucrative exploitation of apocalyptic fears to the needless hysteria surrounding the end of the Mayan calendar — and more. It’s the doomsday book to end all doomsday books ... hopefully.
