Watch Prime Minister Julia Gillard Announce The End Of The World


I believe that the quality of a leader can be measured by how comfortable you are with them appearing on television to tell you everything is going to hell. Unfortunately, you usually have to wait for a time of crisis to put this theory to the test. Not this time! Here’s Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard telling us that the Mayans were right, and that we’re all doomed.

The PM delivers the end of days speech with cold precision, and that’s what makes this so perfect. I love a politician with a sense of humour.

Don’t worry. The end of the world isn’t really happening. This is actually an ad for a radio show on Triple J. Best. Ad. Ever.
