Hey did you guys hear about this swine flu thing?
All news, everywhere, is about this swine flu. Or FAQ’s about the swine flu. Or maps about the swine flu. Or the morbid reminiscing about Swine Flu ‘76 (which I’m thinking of making into a t-shirt. Because what the world needs more than more news on swine flu is more ironic t-shirts.)
Did you know a very, very nasty cult leader escaped, from a French jail on an island named Reunion, via hijacked helicopter? Or that the stupid stupid military and people in charge of such things forgot to tell the residents of Manhattan a low-flying Boeing 747 would be galavanting around the skies for a photo-shoot (since when do planes have photo-shoots?) which caused terrified people to ‘self-evacuate’ (read: muh’fucking FLEE) from their office towers?
Well there’s that.
Also, in other swine flu news, apparently Israel has renamed the ‘swine flu’ for religious reasons. It would seem it’s not kosher. Literally. But naming it the ‘Mexican Flu’ and subconsciously correlating the entire country of Mexico with a possibly devastating pandemic is totally cool.
Just doin my part to keep you all up to date.
