What's this "May 22 Rapture" thing people are talking about?

The Bible says not even Jesus or the angels know when the Rapture is; only God knows. So did some pretentious church just start making bumper stickers? Is the "Second Coming" actually just a clever name for some big church event? Some dumb big protest being done by those crazies that protest funerals? What's the deal?

Update:

Okay, answers like the first one, while helpful, don't answer my question as to why people are suddenly randomly displaying this weird bumper sticker.

Update 2:

Some of you misunderstand. I'm not asking for its validity; it could happen then, it could happen thousands of years from now, or it could happen in 10 minutes. Anyway, I have my answer, so let me just get to closing this...

Update 3:

I have to wait until it's expired? I can't just mark this "resolved"? Oh, well, okay, the guy from Family Radio is the source. I look forward to any fluff answers that may roll in this week.

    It's the guy who owns family radio, Harold Camping. He did the same thing in 1994.

    I'll be among the first to know, the crazies in question are in Orlando I hear, protesting students going to high school.

  • It's not supposed to happen on May 22. It's supposed to happen on May 21.

    Is your question in response to the question I just posted here?

    Dude on the radio who does fake prophecies and has failed multiple times believes he has it right THIS time.
