Lost Media: Fake Doomsday PSA

 

Isn't an image from PSA and was created in Canva

"Fake Doomsday" or "Hoax Doomsday" are names given to a lost PSA ad shown only on IBC-13 during Top 10 Movie Trailers of the Week in the early 1990s in the Philipines. The PSA was about the biblical end-times prophecy, particularly that of the number of the beast. It was a strange and scary PSA and it was unknown who had created it or why they had. It's possible that it was a fundamentalist Christian group that had done it.
 
The ad would start with the word RAPTURE with a date on the bottom of the screen with the picture of Jesus Christ resurrecting in the background. Throughout the PSA ominous background music and a voice-over with "This is a paid advertisement" on the bottom of the screen. A series of slide show images would follow the title screen. The images were disturbing pictures from the Holocaust with witnesses describing the people in the pictures as being like those from concentration camps. The people were described as sickly, bald, pale, and skinny. Some images featured people being dragged by their necks. The number "666" is featured with a black font and an off-white background and what follows are photos of people with the number 666 on their forehead in the middle to end part of the PSA. The PSA said to end with a picture of Jesus Christ floating resurrecting in Galilee.
