Porky's Revenge?
Porky's Revenge was the third installment of the Porky's movie trilogy of the '80's. Twenty-five years later "Porky's Revenge" it has a whole new meaning.
Probably just like you, I'm sitting here waiting to die of the swine flu. According to CNN, that's what I should be doing. We're all doomed. We're all going to die. It's just a matter of time. I am appalled (but not at all surprised) at how "dramatic" the media is making this. They are definitely hyping this to the limit. CNN even has swine flu theme music prior to their swine flu updates, which seem to come every 6 to 8 swine flu m
inutes.
Don't misunderstand me -- I know it is important to make people aware of this situation, but how carried away can the press get? At last count there have been 96 confirmed cases of the swine flu in the U.S. (in a country of 303 million people) and, unfortunately, one confirmed death. I swear one could almost hear the champagne corks popping at Fox News when the first swine flu death was confirmed. I just don't understand it. When it comes to being merciless and stone-hearted, journalists are almost as bad as lawyers. Yet I suppose both serve a purpose in our society, just like suppositories and wart remover.
In the end, either swine flu will get us or terrorists will. Your best option is the terrorists because if you've lost your job in this economy you've probably lost your health insurance too. Who can afford to go to the doctor with a nasty case of the swine flu? We're all screwed.
So eat, drink and be merry -- for tomorrow we die.
