Dude looks like death warmed over lightly but still thinks he has this down to a science and even have people who believe him...AGAIN.
This kook (Harold Camping) calls another kook's idea kooky:
"Harold Camping lets out a hearty chuckle when he considers the people who believe the world will end in 2012.
"That date has not one stitch of biblical authority," Camping says from the Oakland office where he runs Family Radio, an evangelical station that reaches listeners around the world. "It's like a fairy tale."
The real date for the end of times, he says, is in 2011."
Are religious people mentally ill? I don't want to call them idiots because many of them score high on IQ tests or they are creative, etc. I can't think of another explanation. They're like the opposite of "Rain Man", or the inverse of savant syndrome: Otherwise normal, rational people have this one completely irrational component of their mental characteristic.
No one can deny that May 21, 2011 is pointing to the same day God destroyed the world with a flood during the days of Noah (Gen 7:11). This flood came on the 17th day of the 2nd month in 4990 BC (Noah's 600th year). In our calendar, the 17th day of the 2nd month is May 21. So, God has declared that the end of the world will happen 7000 years later on May 21, 2011.

Certainly people can deny something that is based on fantasy.
Besides the plain fact that the biblical flood myth is easily disproved, the Chinese have had a well developed writting system in place for nearly 6,000 years.
Oops, no mention of any world inundating flood at all.

I see no end to this sort of thing happening over and over again as it has for centuries. Even the same discredited person can come back and gain a new following which reveals a great deal about those who believe him. At his age he might not even make it till 2011 but I hope he does so maybe it will sink in a little more than the last time when nothing happened and the world was still here the next day.
"We are now translated into 48 languages and have been transmitting into China on an AM station without getting jammed once," Camping said. "How can that happen without God's mercy?"
When you read the article on how he comes to his mathematical determination, you realize why China might not censor it:

They love American stand-up comedy!
Howard Stern also enjoys an audience in China.
Quite telling indeed.
