Fin du monde: les adeptes ruinés veulent la tête du charlatan

The day after: "J'ai dû faire une erreur de calcul, l'enlèvement est remis à une date ultérieure. Veuillez envoyer vos dons pour modifier les panneaux."
Silence radio du prédicateur Harold Camping après le flop de son "enlèvement au ciel" des bons chrétiens qu'il avait prédit pour le 21 mai. Les réactions se partagent entre les sarcasmes de ceux qui ne l'ont jamais cru et la colère des milliers d'adeptes qui s'étaient laissé embarquer dans son délire. De nombreuses personnes qui avaient cru la prédiction se sont mises en congé pour se préparer à l'enlèvement. D'autres ont dépensé toutes leurs économies pour aider à publier le message de la prophécie. Des parents ont dilapidé l'argent qu'ils avaient mis de côté pour les études de leurs enfants. Un employé retraité d'une agence de transport de New York a dépensé 140.000 dollars en publicité. Certains commentaires de blogs difficiles à vérifier parlent de personnes désespérée qui se sont suicidés et même d'une femme qui aurait tué sa petite fille de 3 ans afin qu'elle ait à vivre les horreurs de la fin du monde.
N° 2 des recherches sur Google
Camping avait investi plus de 100 millions de dollars pour annoncer l'évènement, réussissant à créer un immense buzz sur internet: "end of the world may 21st" (fin du monde 21 mai) a atteint la seconde place au classement des recherches sur Google le 19 mai aux Etats-Unis, et les mots-clé liés à l'évènement tels que "Harold Camping", "May 21 doomsday" (apocalypse 21 mai), and "May 21 rapture" (enlèvement 21 mai) étaient aussi parmi le top 10 des recherches des internautes.
Au lendemain du non-évènement, les insultes pleuvent sur les blogs. De nombreux internautes furieux veulent lyncher l'imposteur, demandent qu'il rembourse les dons, et/ou qu'il fasse des excuses publiques.
"damn you Harold Camping, I want my money back!"
