Ashton Kutcher schools us on the coming apocalypse

[traelin0]

When it all hits the fan, Ashton Kutcher's abs will save the world.

In an undeniably kooky interview for the new issue of Men's Fitness, the "Dude, Where's My Car?" star explains his motivation for keeping in shape. It's not to keep himself bankable as a movie star. It's not because Demi likes a man with a little definition. It's so that when our fragile civilization turns into a Michael Bay movie, he will not be the nerdy scientist/rookie cop/loveable old timer with two days till retirement. "All of my physical fitness regimen is completely tailored around the end of day," he explains. "I stay fit for no other reason than to save the people I care about."

"End of day"? When did Kelso become Kirk Cameron? The 32-year-old actor jogs around the canyons near his California home, does intense Bikram yoga, and has started learning the Israeli self-defense technique of Krav Maga, eschewing only pole fitness in his pursuit of trendy workouts. Sounding less like a sex symbol and more like a guy who bangs out manifestos on a Remington, Kutcher says, "It won’t take very much, I’m telling you. It will not take much for people to hit the panic button. The amount of convenience that people rely on based on electricity alone -- you start taking out electricity and satellites, and people are going to lose their noodle." He then reminisces fondly about losing power in their family's cabin in the mountains last Christmas: "It was 20 below zero. I got my guns out. We made a fire. We went to the grocery store, and the doors were open because they’re all electronic. People were rolling in and out, clearing out the shelves. It was like a preview" of what's to come.

I would say "dude" has a good amount of common sense. The unprepared, fat, lazy and entitled will die as expected.

Rev.Hagee has been preaching of a coming apocalypse for years now,only he sees a nuke ending. We will engage in full war with the mideast,bringing about apocalypse and the rapture. The chosen will meet in Alaska. I don't know about all that,either.
