Swine Flu, time to panic 898 people are sick globally. Ha ha what a load of media crap.

I love a good pork chop wrapped in bacon, stuffed with sausage and served on a nice bed of cubed ham just like the next guy and I have had it with the Swine Flu paranoia that is sweeping the planet.

My god is this country so eager to hear about anything but the global economic crisis and endless stories of families being evicted, retirements lost and huge bailouts that we grab onto a flu bug and create a worldwide panic to make ourselves feel better. I can see the writing on the wall just like the next guy as these new strains of antibiotic resistant bugs start to make there presence known but cannot stomach the way the media takes hold of any possible story and blows it all out of proportion.

In this case we have a Flu bug that has infected 898 people out of an estimated 6,777,512,404  according to the most recent estimates. Wholly shit how is this getting so much coverage? All across the country schools are shutting down and people are staying home from all activities. This is just what our economy needs right now the media scaring the shit out of everyone so they stay home and leave the struggling businesses empty because they are afraid of some flu that is so rare it should not even be on the radar.

Now before you all start bitching at me about an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure I want you to know I agree. But a small dose of common sense goes a hell of a long way on this planet that seems to decide reality based on whatever the local assholes on the news think will get us to tune in.

Lets go ahead and file the Swine Flu right along side of Y2K and whatever bullshit media craze they are cooking up next to keep the uninformed up at night and generating add revenue.

Note to self, time to build a website focusing on providing survival supplies, magical flu potions, x-ray glasses, and of course gourmet bacon because bacon makes everything better.
