So are we all going to die, or what? They do not really have doctors in Mexico anyway, do they? No offense to the Mexi-CANS.

We are all going to die, oh well humanity has had a nice run.

Now they can fly!



We're all gonna die!!!!!

Regular flu kills thousands of people every year. We're all gonna die, eventually. Thanks for the fear-mongering, CNN!

Our esteemed health agencies, who are still acting under interim heads as the adminstration hasn't gotten around to appointing anyone yet (greeaaaatttt we're in the hands of "Terrorists are coming from Canada napolitano) has yet to order making vaccines. WTF are you waiting for?

This thing is hardly an epidemic. It's less fatal than bird flu was and far less widespread. Hows bird flu anyway, I stopped paying attention after nothing happened.

It's just another international scare scheme to drum up news profits.

They're probably waiting for an actual emergency. Or danger. This is neither.

2,000 confirmed cases in Mexico. 169 deaths. Thats 9% mortality rate. Thats higher than the Spanish flu outbreak.

But you're right, photo ops with Air Force One buzzing NYC are much more important.

Because the mexican healthcare system is so god damn amazing. The avian flu had a fairly high mortality rate until it hit areas with access to hospitals too.

Neither one is important. People should shut up about it and report the multiple genocides, wars, conflicts, and maybe at some point just maybe report on one of the half dozen collapsing governments on this planet.

Oh wait, no one cares, thats not scary.

Why would I care about a genocide or war?

Oh snap!
A flu from pigs!!!
Run away, run away!!!

not just pigs....swine!

I didn't watch any news over the weekend and today it was on the cover of 3 daily newspapers.

I don't quite get it. How is this any different then the last 3 plagues which were caused by eating meat?

this one ruins bacon anung!
thats what makes it so evil :(

What about SARS?

And Y2K!

AND THE OZONE LAYER IS DISAPPEARING!!!!

From the episode when Lisa decided to be a vegetarian,

Homer Simpson, "So, you won't eat sausage?"
Lisa, "No."
H, "What about bacon?"
L, "No."
H, "What about ham?"
L, "No, dad."
H, "What about porkchops?"
L, "Dad, those all come from the same animal."
H, "Sure, Lisa, there's some magical animal they all come from."

Anyway, this is why I don't want the US government to be 'responsible' for the healthcare system.

Maybe Obama ran out of people that don't cheat on their taxes to nominate to posts.

I really, really hate the media.

I really fething hate all these fething things that ruin all the fething bacon! :(
why couldnt this gak ruin something like beef instead?

Screw you hippie!

Beef and Bacon go hand in hand. You can't be a manly man without both.

woah woah woah woah woah ....... woah!

feth you buddy!
i rely on my bacon and cheese toasty every now and then
who the feth eats beef? (unless of course its terriaky beef jerky )

lets face it, cows are as thick as gak, they smell like gak and they taste like gak.

pigs are only the 1st 2

yea orke, all mcdonalds burgers look like that, until you get it and it looks like some fat bastard sat on it.

I do believe thats wendys, because the burger is square.

That was my thought. It is not the British Swine Flu, it is the Mexican Swine Flu.

Maybe the swine flu will kill off the media.

169 dead? Okay, that is nothing. I'm sure that sucked for the families that happened to, but really, come on. More people have died from a single plane crash. Hell, a really bad Memorial Day weekend, and you'll have well over half of that many dead from drinking accidents. Damn media blowing crap out of proportion to get people to watch them out of fear. Fear is the great motivator. They'll use it to sell anything. STOP BUYING THE BS!!! Trust me, if it gets bad enough, we'll all know. Just look at AIDS. Now there is a serious problem. The only bad thing about this is the loss of all that bacon. That deserves a moment of silence.

Well, you just need to watch where you're sitting then.

BA-ZING!

(Also, that is a photoshopped version of the almighty Baconator. Delicious sandwich. Expensive though, I usually go for the JBCs myself.)

i do believe that burger is round, just a flat pic

sorry if i offend the burger capital of the world
but a burger is a burger, most taste like gak unless its done proper BBQ style (half burned)

usually you only PM me warnings about my language and attitude, not about those is it?

Actually, it is square.

It's Wendy's!

Anyone who doesn't recognise Wendy's is a total chav.

ouch, that hurts comming from a crown
sorry, im not a lardass who can recognise each type of burger at a glance
+ i dont think they have that thing over here

Wendy's isn't as good as Burger King, but both are better than Mcdonalds, but Wendy's has 2 redeeming factors, the Frosty and the Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger for a dollar...BUT-Mcdonalds has Mcflurrys and really good fries, but Burger King has the BEST burgers of all 3.
However, KFC is still made of winsauce.

EDIT:: I totally forgot Chick-Fil-A!!!
They win at everything. Hands down. Best burger, fries, and drink, cause they have icedreams and icedream milkshakes.

It's okay, not everyone's parents can afford a decent education.

Don't worry, we'll bring civilization to your country soon enough. We even have something called "electricity". It's very cool, it can make pictures move!
