Shenzhen, China, June 23, 2011 --(PR.com)-- There have been a lot of jokes making and merriment on Facebook recently surrounding the "day of rapture" according to laser and light source Lazerpoint.

Last month, Christian pastor and radio DJ Harold Camping informed the world that on the 21st of May, 2011 worthy Christians would be assessed and lifted up to heaven ahead of the coming apocalypse.

Johnson Gray, PR Manager for laser and flashlight seller, Lazerpoint, said Facebook has been flooded with jokes, groups and events surrounding the occasion.

The three events that got the most attention were a post-rapture looting party, a group inviting members to photograph "rapture victims" and one from a company asking people what they planned to do after judgement day.

There were a large number of attendees for these three pages with the Random Acts Of Rapture event getting the most attendees.

“People realize the inherent absurdity of there being a nameable date for the end of the world and want to express that,” said Mr Gray. “Who knew that Facebook would be their platform for doing this.”

According to Mr Gray, some people even utilized the page "Get Ready For Judgement Day"(http://www.facebook.com/pages/LazerPoint/142898779114049#!/pages/LazerPoint/142898779114049?sk=app_190435500990432) to bring attention to the plight of atheists in the US campaigning for the separation of church and state.

“One submitter pointed one person because of pointing out the illegality of prayer in school,” said Mr Gray.

The laser and flashlight supplier asked Facebook followers what they would do the day of the rapture in return for a laser, headlamp or flashlight and received a range of answers.

“The answers we received ranged from very serious to extremely funny,” said Mr Gray. “It was an extremely enlightening experience.”

According to Mr Gray, it wasn’t surprising that the campaign got such a huge response with with Lazerpoint’s product range and ethos.

“Only the smartest, most practical people shop on Lazerpoint,” said Mr Gray. “They know when not to overpay for lasers and they know a joke when they see it.”
