Watch out 2010 Olympics! Here comes the Swine Flu!!!

Yeah, that's right, the swine flu's cute little curly tail can shoot waves of fire out of it.... BEWARE!!!

So for some inane reason, Matty and I decided to set up the television once again.

And yes, we are now stuck in front of it as the sun shines outside and as children are laughing and playing in the street, we are cowering on our couch experiencing the dire consequences and terrific trauma that await us with the oncoming swine flu.

To tell you the truth, I’m not even sure if I would have heard about this so-called “swine flu” if I hadn’t turned on the news this afternoon.

In its so typical way, the news once again is instilling fear and paranoia in the minds of the masses.

Apparently pandemics come in waves, and we are experiencing the first wave of this one. The stern faced anchor on the television so graciously tells us that the third wave of the swine flu should be coming to Vancouver just in time for the 2010 olympics.

Maybe I’ll look back at this a couple years down the road when the swine flu has fully thinned the masses, and the world has become a realistic portrayal of Outbreak or Resident Evil. But for Christ’s sake, does everything on the news have to be so God-damned exaggerated and thematic??

Me thinks it’s time to put the television back in the closet where it belongs.
