Whoa, pretty heavy stuff. I wonder if it's some kind of joke or something.

Isn't Latin supposed to be a dead language? :confused:

I have absobloodylutely no idea-
training for a tsumami maybe!
Like other took latin at school and have forgotten it all-
Its a picture that either tells plenty or absolutely nothing!
My reply doesnt help much eh!
but am entitled to my opinion even though it is of no help- have a great day where ever you are- going to be a scorcher here in New South Wales Australia-take care and stay safe!

Could be tsunami related I guess, there are a lot of strange natural disasters going on it seems these days.

Anyone else think that pic kind of looks like it was taken in San Antonio?

I didn't notice that update that was posted. maybe it happened after I originally saw it. Sounds like people are seeing them on tv, is it an add for a movie?

Found some more info on this. check it out

"The advertisements portray a flock of birds against an angry red sky, with a single phrase: Omnium Finis Imminet, Latin for The End of All Things Is Near. The advertisements, for Steven Spielberg's movie version of H. G. Wells's "War of the Worlds," cost about $50,000. The film is to open in July. The two sets of advertisements are likely to reopen the debate over the degree to which public space should be protected from commercialization."
