Hawt Run for your lives! It's a solar flare lion!

I watched a thing on the discovery channel about "the Apocalypse 2012" and it went through all the horrible things that could happen to wipe out earth and have the end of it be 2012 (a massive solar flare was one of them that could set stuff off), then it continued on with all the scientists says "but any of that stuff is highly unlikely to happen, and hey, we have just as good of a chance of having it happen tomorrow as we do in 2010". Then at the very end, the announcer voice goes "BUT it could, yadda, yadda, and if the world does end in 2012, we can't say we weren't warned" all ominous. While watching what the different natural disasters would do is fascinating, it was quite silly.
