Not even Batman's safe from the swine flu.

I agree with that Matt Person Guy Super Cool Dude. There's not nearly enough dying going on, considering everyone's in danger.

S*** I actually remember that episode.

To be honest, I'm sick of hearing about it. No, just because I used the word "sick" doesn't mean I made a pun, although I suppose it could be construed that way. I just got done writing an article for my college paper about how swine flu will affect study abroad in Mexico. I've had it up to hear with swine flu. I realize you couln't see me gesturing to my neckline when I wrote that, but it was probably implied anyway. Yeah!

Seriously though, remember when SARS and the bird flu were totally going to, like, kill all humans or something? Yeah, awesome times. Where did they go? Everyone freaked right the f*ck out for about a year before they quietly disappeared. And then no one mentioned it again. It was like we entered some bizzaro world where SARS and the bird flu never existed. No one even called CNN to say, "Hey, guys. What the hell happened to the bird flu? Aren't you at least going to apoligize for being wrong?" Are SARS and the bird flu out there plotting revenge right now? Maybe, but apparently no one cares because when it mattered most, they just couldn't deliver. You made it to the Super Bowl, SARS and bird flu, and you choked.

So, I'm supposed to be scared of swine flu now? Yes, it's a bit frightening that it seems to kill healthy, young people so easily, but its death to recovery ratio is still fairly low. It's less a global catastrophe and more a media sh*tstorm. They love this kind of stuff. Even the college paper I work for loves it. It gives us a ton of stories, and people will read them.

They can't all be the next black plague.

The media never apalagazas, since opologos are totally not their style. If there's something they should apelogaze for, they'd rather throw some rapist or some feel good story at you.

I think it's definately too hyped...Use common sense as far as cautions...The mainstream media over-dramatizes things if you ask me..

*Anarky* · 04-30-2009, 06:41 PM

Goddamn, man. Your signature is the only thing that could use some common sense. The only way to have a really cool signature is to use a picture of your desktop at full screen resolution. Anything under 1680x1050 pixels in a signature is just f*cking lame.

Or you could actually comply with the board rules and go for the 250px height.

As for common sense, it would seem that everyone who's running around, scared to death, lacks any kind of common sense (much like all of Mexico who basically went "Meh, we're all sick. Time for a nation-wide siesta) and should therefore be entitled to die, since they're apparently hellbent on it.

If the "Revenge of the Schnitzel" needs help, just toss me and Matt a couple of bottles of booze, enough ammo and some decent weaponry. We'll take care of any non-infected panicmakers. Guaranteed!

I'm not sure my spelling error deserved to be mocked three different times, but I appreciate the enthusiasm.

My sarcasm detector works fine, thanks.

the only thing really dangerous thing about the swine flu is the mass hysteria it is invoking.

What sarcasm? You should be a comedian. I apple-jizz if it came across as sarcastic.
