whither the apocalypse

Spotted at A Blog Named Sue:

You know, in every movie I've seen about the end of the world, civilization collapses because of something wicked cool happening - an asteroid hits, nuclear war, a supervirus, an ape revolution, whatever. If civilization collapses over credit default swaps I an going to be pissed.

Me too. I mean, I’m already pissed. But I’ll be more pissed.

As Thers at Eschaton adds:

We don't even get zombies. Bummer.

*sigh*

Well, we have zombie banks...

There's actually a really bad political thriller starring Jane Fonda and Kris Kristofferson called Rollover about how a financial crisis involving insolvent banks, insider trading, and slush funds. It ends in global rioting when all money becomes worthless.
