Doomsday Scenario

A doomsday scenario is a hypothetical situation used by persons studying disasters to plan emergency responses.

No one really believes they'll ever happen, even when they seem plausible.

The most common doomsday scenario is called the "ticking time bomb", which features a heroic American, a terrorist and a city held hostage by the terrorist's bomb and the only way to find out where the bomb is and how to diffuse it is by using legally-vetted enhanced interrogation techniques.

Others scenarios include North Korean or Iran getting nuculer weapons, socialized medicine and anything that promotes the The Homosexual Agenda (including, but not limited to Gay Marriage, Gays in the Military and dancing).

During the inaugural edition of Stephen Colbert's Doom Bunker, Dr. Colbert enumerated four doomsday scenarios: SCENARIO #1
 * the year is 2012
 * the Dow is trading below 1000
 * unemployment is at 40%
 * there is an armed insurrection in El Kañsas (pronounced el kahn-yawn-zas)

SCENARIO #2
 * the year is 2014
 * the Dow is trading below 250
 * Koala Pox wiped out all of the world's livestock
 * Soy beans have replaced money

SCENARIO #3
 * the year is 2019
 * the U.S. auto industry is gone
 * but, every car in America turns out to be a Decepticon

SCENARIO #3
 * the year is 2012
 * Obama's policies have worked
 * pulling out of Iraq was the right thing to do
 * stimulus plan has the Dow rebounding somewhere around 12,000
 * people's faith in the government is restored
