Swine Flu

It's every 24hr News Channel's dream come true: Swine Flu. What is wrong with modern TV News? When did they stop trying to 'inform us' and start trying to 'scare the sh*t out of us'?

To help 'inform' the public, BBC news even had a picture of the virus! What use is that?! 'If you see this virus, do not approach it. It is dangerous.' Yeah, I'll be sure to use my 'microscopic vision' for that one! I'm sorry, I didn't realise the BBC were now offering a news service for people with super-powers.


Yahoo News and Time have weighed in with '5 Things You Need to Know about The Outbreak'. But their five things are boring, here are my five:

1. When you cough, check for the smell of bacon.

2. Don't panic at every little symptom: a runny nose is ok. But a runny snout, that's bad.

3. If a wolf comes to your house to 'huff and puff and blow your house down', this could be a very serious sign. Particularly if your house is made of straw.

4. Take no comfort from the fact you can't fly, pigs can't do that either.

5. And finally, whatever you do, DO NOT HAVE SEX WITH THIS WOMAN:
