Something Swiney This Way Comes...

Okay, just to make it clear, swine flu has officially been blown out of proportion. WHO claims we're getting closer to a pandemic because (hold your breath!) the first death outside of Mexico was reported! Before your heart stops, it was a 23-MONTH OLD BABY that died, plus the kid was Mexican and was visiting Mexico and caught the flu and it obviously wasn't treated on time... so there. Kids have weaker immune systems, hello! It frustrates me so much how the media spread the news about the flu faster than the flu itself!

Let me give you an example. Yesterday I did a Google search of the term swine flu. It returned around 73,000,000 hits!! You think that's bad? Today, doing the same search, it returned 245,000,000 hits. WTF! Narrowing the search term by adding quotation marks "swine flu" returned 83,500,000 results. Still... disturbing, don't you think?

Hold your horses! I think Google has gone wacko. It started giving me very, very random hit numbers. They change by the second and by change, I mean by several million... Hmmm... Observe.

"swine flu" - 3.3 million hits


Just swine flu- 6 million hits


Just swine flu again, like, 32 seconds later - 168 MILLION HITS


The numbers I had mentioned before the pictures were also true, I just wanted to include images as proof :)

In comparison, AIDS results have been at a constant 123 million since yesterday. At least that we know with certainty.


So please try and understand that this whole swine virus (which will now cordially be renamed the N1H1 virus because otherwise it's offensive to pigs everywhere) is an out-of-proportion media horror campaign or something. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO DIE OF SWINE FLU! THE HUMAN RACE WILL NOT BE ERADICATED BY THAT N1H1 VIRUS! Plus, it's already a well-known fact that the world will end in 2012 as that's when the Mayan calendar ends... so what's the rush, we're all going to perish in 3 years anyway, swine or no swine.

God, do we really need to rise global panic levels now? Doesn't the world have enough problems already?! Forget the flu, stop being paranoid and just go out there and live your life!!!! NOW!!!!

(And in case you were wondering, the unfortunate Yahoo ad about a trip to Mexico placed right next to the swine flu news has now been updated... forget Mexico - go to Guatemala for the study! Right...)
