As a curiosity, it is worth noting that the 'Gangnam Style' video surpassed Justin Bieber's 'Beauty and a Beat' on YouTube, thus becoming the most watched YouTube video of all time. On 21 December 2012, it reached the magic number of one billion views- and since 21 December was the day when those who took seriously the predictions of the Mayan calendar were expecting the end of the world, one can say that the Ancient Mayas were right: the fact that a 'Gangnam Style' video gets a billion views effectively is the sign of the collapse of a civilization.
