Forget Hugh Hendry... Ashton Kutcher Recommends You Panic, And Prepare For The Apocalpyse

Tyler Durden's picture




 

It seems that it was just yesterday that everyone's favorite outspoken Eclectica manager, Hugh Hendry, was advising that the best course of action is panicking. It appears his message was not lost on one Ashton Kutcher. Per the HuffPo: "Ashton Kutcher is in hard training for the apocalypse, but this no big screen role: he's afraid that armageddon is coming.....Kutcher is stocking up on guns and spending hours and hours running
the canyons near his home, pushed on by visions of being chased by wild
boar. He's also taking daily bikram yoga sessions, and learning Krav
Maga, a deadly Israeli combat technique taught to high-powered special
ops. All of my physical fitness regimen is completely tailored around the
end of day. I stay fit for no other reason than to save the people I
care about." And so survivalism has just gone mainstream...and copycat cool. Good luck trying to find stockpiles of MRE rations, freeze dried beans, and ammo going forward.

More from the Huffington Post:

Speaking to Men's Fitness,
Kutcher predicts that the "end of days" is on its way, and he wants to
be prepared for the inevitable madness. He told the magazine (quotes via JustJared):

 

"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.
People don't have maps anymore. People use their iPhones or GPS systems,
so if there's no electricity, nobody has maps."

 

And then what? The way Kutcher sees it, all chaos breaks.

"And people are going to go, 'That land's not yours, prove
that it's yours,' and the only thing you have to prove it's yours is on
an electric file. Then it's like, 'What's the value of currency, and
whose food is whose?' People's alarm systems at their homes will no
longer work. Neither will our heating, our garbage disposals, hot-water
heaters that run on gas but depend on electricity - what happens when
all our modern conveniences fail? I'm going to be ready to take myself
and my family to a safe place where they don't have to worry."

So what's a soothsaying star supposed to do when he sees the end of
the world? Kutcher is stocking up on guns and spending hours and hours
running the canyons near his home, pushed on by visions of being chased
by wild boar. He's also taking daily bikram yoga sessions, and learning
Krav Maga, a deadly Israeli combat technique taught to high-powered
special ops.

"All of my physical fitness regimen is completely tailored around the
end of day. I stay fit for no other reason than to save the people I
care about."

We are not sure how Demi feels about being chased by millions of milfthursty zombies who will have lost all rational thought once their infinitely dilutable pieces of paper are taken away.

It has worried me that *all* that make your observation will some how give life to this object de' art al la chuckie, only to have it hunt you down and remove the portion of your brain that houses the critic...Baww ha ha ha ha.

 

Skippy...BTW Don Johnson actually had few good movies, one called "A boy and his dog"  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Boy_and_His_Dog. I find it a better apocalyptic antidote than "THE ROAD", you at least get laid, then offered *multiple nuptials*, only to awake to "I thee wed" and the resulting mechanical Kapuck Kapuck POP Diing...rinse repeat...ROFLOL..

Col Walter E Kurtz:

The horror, The horror

I've seen horrors... horrors that you've seen. But you have no right to call me a murderer. You have a right to kill me. You have a right to do that... but you have no right to judge me. It's impossible for words to describe what is necessary to those who do not know what horror means. Horror... Horror has a face... and you must make a friend of horror. Horror and moral terror are your friends. If they are not, then they are enemies to be feared. They are truly enemies!

(suspiciously sounding like one of the Sheens with a raspy whisper)

... you could hear it... in the middle of the night... the sound of the squirrels rattling peanuts in the empty, rusty Schlitz cans... and you knew... they were coming through the wire...

...the brass didn't know what to do, so they pleaded confusion and struck out by napalming every Jack-in-the-Box in Saigon attempting to gob shock the gooks into retreating to the dog meat and rat BBQ kim-chee joint, Korea Krispy's, back up the coast where the surf wasn't as gnarly...

... but it didn't work.. so that's why we were headed back up river down the coast to find the best damned dope we could.... only to discover the original uncut never shown Jerry Springer narrates reruns of Jersey Shore....

...until we finally understood why we'd been sacrificed... to find if there really was sanity in the pricing of the Aston Kutcher signature edition Fleet Enema Family Pack....

There is another possibility you should consider.

That one might cross one's arms to show off his biceps if he were doing the cover of a magazine that panders to wanna-be muscle heads. The corporate owners of the mag might have learned long ago that they get better sales if their cover shots generally include shots of men doing this douchey wanna-be move, and they might insist on it. To appeal to the insecure buyers and subscribers.

When you go to sell it it will be assayed anyway. But I wouldn't buy a bar that big, stick with 100 oz as they are easier to sell, and move. Or just buy gold.

You are much better off getting a bunch of small denomination rounds or bars.  The big stuff is too tempting to fake.  I used to get the larger bars myself, but after seeing some fakes (online), I switched to all 1 oz and smaller denominations.  The largest I have now is a few 10 oz silver bars.  It's a pain in the ass if you have a lot.  Just keep them in sturdy canvas bags so you can move them easily.

My question for people who plan to wait out the 'apocalypse' in some back woods fortification with their 6 month supply of guns, ammo, gold and food stores is: What do you do on month 7 when things are still hectic? Or when one of your group is ill?

It doesn't matter how much ammo you have, because eventually someone with more will find out you're sitting pretty on a nice pile of goods and will show up to remove you from it, waiting you out if they have to. Suddenly you will find yourself very, very alone.

Part of storing up capital for when the SHTF is the building of social capital. Social networks (not Facebook). A community network of people whom you know and whom can trade off each other's skills is going to be stronger in the long run, better able to defend itself, and better able to support any kind of economy. There's no sense in running out to the woods to build some new community when you can build strong networks right where you are.

Personally, I don't think the S will HTF in some large scale zombie apocalypse. What's more likely is a long period of decline, with regional hotspots. Over the long haul I believe national and state governments will become increasingly ineffective and unable to get things done, you can already see that. At the local level is where the action will be. There will be opportunities.

If you believe oil and other energy shocks will be a factor, I'd plan for that. Take a look at where you live and examine whether it can survive massive inflation in energy prices. Can you grow food there? Are you totally dependent on driving to do anything? What if you could no longer afford to drive a car or truck and there is no transit?

There's nothing wrong with being prepared for an emergency, having the means to protect yourself and having a store of wealth, but for the long term, I think it is very important to position yourself in a community, and that doesn't necessarily mean moving to a small town.

People have been living sustainable lives for generations in small towns on their own land 

I promise you they won't feel a thing. They have networks for support and already barter out of habit

They used to run their cars on their own distilled alcohol fuel, this time they'll run generators too

Ashton just realized he that he lives in a bubble, and maybe Chavez and Venezuela aren't so great after all.

Funny.

If I had time, I will post this drivel on chinese forums as an example of US productivity.

A guy running the canyons, pushed by the vision of being chased by wild boars and learning a martial art all day long  to prepare for an event that wont happen. And I am pretty sure this guy thinks he deserves every single cent he earns.

Stupidity is bottomless.

Nice example of US productivity and how people should kiss goodbye to their US liabilities.

More work for the Chinese cyberguard as it is exactly the type of information they censor, as they dont like broadcast on how heavy they've been conned it by the US.

The magick of living in a society where the representation needs are so high he can make a living simply by showing off his mug and giving stupid, empty interviews as the one he's just given.

This guy's job is merely to broadcast an image for an ideal that the common US citizens would like to be real.

That is the magick. The greed for fantasy. The greed for delusion. The greed for duplicity...Similar magick as selling infinitive growth, hard work and innovation drivels... Works well too.

This guy might even produce videos on how to get the most of running the canyons etc...That would make a killer on the US market.

In the real world economy? In a country which is living off credits emissions, adding to a debt that is not likely to be paid? Thiefs can get rich too, in the real world economy. So what?

The fact is this guy produces nothing tradeable.

His only production is a lifestyle many wish to have. He is sponsored for that, to embody the perfect life many wish to live but unable to have.

Not harming a soul? I dont know what a soul is and how it can be hurt, if it can be hurt.

But lieing always comes at a cost for somebody somewhere. People who makes a living by projecting fallacies have done harm.

Sorry but projecting fallacies like infinite growth was followed up by decisions that hurt quite a lot of people out there. In the real world.

A lot of issues with Ashton-envy on this board. He made it, you didn't it. Get over it. He's got Demi, you don't. She's still hot, so admit it and move on. And he's got more gumption than The Bernank, Timmy, Obummer or just about ANYBODY else in Washington or the MSM. So WTF are you shooting the messenger?

Hell, he's probably pissed and just blowing off steam because he's gonna have to move from Idaho to Sweden in the near future.
