Pig Flu

Well, it looks like we might not all die from the pig flu after all. You see, the media can only keep the crisis simmering for at most a week, before it's time to evolve the story and find a new angle. Apparently, the new angle is that, uhhh, it's not much different from any other flu. Now there's a surprise.

Could it be that maybe, just maybe, the entire thing was hyped up so to become an opportunity to scare the bejesus out of people so that maybe they'd buy more newspapers, watch more TV news and demand action from the Dear Leader? All answers are pointing to 'yes.' Perhaps it was just a cabal by the medical supply company lobby so they could sell more medical face masks? :)

But just when it appears the story has been vastly over-hyed, we have a genius at the U.N. warning, the "second wave" could be worse! O-M-G! "THE SKY IS FALLING, THE SKY IS FALLING! Oh wait, it's not. BUT IT SURE COULD!! You should still be scared!" Give me a break, people.
