I laugh my ass off when I see people wearing the face masks.  Yeah, that's going to keep out a virus, sure, also I own a big bridge in New York City... wanna buy it?  Cheap?

We had a product meeting this morning on proper masks.  They have to have an N95 filter or some such to be approved by WHO and the CDC.  We're shipping them out all over the place.

We won't even get into what they (WHO and CDC) require to "kill" the virus as far as sanitizers and such go....



I would imagine they would have to be on pretty damn tight so wee beasties don't slip in through the sides?

Talk about media hype...

I had lunch in a bar today, and they had the TV on CNN, with the sound off.

Apparently, the segment was about how "swine" flu should be re-named, because people might think it's a foodbore illness.

So, what were the graphics saying?

On one side: "SWINE FLU."

On the other side "EATING PORK."


Looking at it, with no sound, what kind of connection would you make?


If anyone had a fucking brain in their head, the instant an official says, "we don't want people to think Swine Flu is a food-based illness," they should have emblazoned the screen with "YOU CAN'T GET SWINE FLU FROM EATING PORK.  DUMMIES."

Nothing up here. I think the media is blowing another illness out of proportion based on people in Mexico and the Southwest not knowing how to wash their hands after they wipe their ass.

would you mind keeping the retarded comments for the retards?

some people down here are more evolved than that

If you don't understand the brand of humor around here I suggest you lurk more before getting offended by it.

I was actually pretty impressed that even being new, they stepped up against a statement which, not having context or knowing  the humor here, had to have looked like horrible bigotry.

Ukraine, the Philippines, Thailand and the United Arab Emirates are among other countries which have banned pork imports from the US. http://www.abc.net.au/rural/news/content/200904/s2555669.htm

Too late I guess.  Unless it's a political move.
The Jerk On Bike rolled his eyes and tossed the waffle back over his shoulder--before it struck the ground, a stout, disconcertingly monkey-like dog sprang into the air and snatched it, and began to masticate it--literally--for the sound it made was like a homonculus squatting on the floor muttering "masticate masticate masticate".

the fact that russia is banning all meats almost suggests its the starting of the food riots

I had bacon this morning, and I'm about to have it again.

Wear masks made of bacon to protect from swine flu. The normal paper ones don't work.

It's possible that stupidity will result in a declining demand for pork, causing prices to drop.

I need to buy a bigger freezer!
