“In an amazing, 50 second clip released Thursday, Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard delivers a perfectly deadpan doomsday address that is as hair-raising as it is hilarious.

Surrounded by Australian national flags, Gillard begins, “My dear remaining fellow Australians. The end of world is coming. It wasn’t Y2K, it wasn’t even the carbon price. It turns out that the Mayan calendar is true.” “?
