I think people are looking at the graph and then going OMG WE'RE ALL DOOMED just because it looks so close without any real proper idea on whats really happening.

On the subject of North and South poles please be aware that the mass of Elenin (we don't know it's exact size yet) will be far too small to have ANY effect upon planet Earth as it passes by,
This.
There is no way this comet will cause a pole shift.
The mass needed pull the Earths core in such a way to cause a pole shift would be greater then any known cometary mass. In fact it could not be labeled a comet if it had that much mass.

Yea I think people are getting the idea from seeing the graph that it's gonna be some huge planet like comet basically brushing off the earth and destroying everything in it's part.

Exactly.
The mass of Satillites and space junk could warrant a pole shift scare if this comet does.
Just not happening.
Same, people are just getting these crazy ideas out of tin air. and connecting them with other crazy ideas making it even more unbelievable.
