Health Care Reform Protests: Send Me Your Tired, Ignorant and Stupid.

With the recent town hall events of August and the bill that came out of the Senate Finance Committee, health care reform is as contentious as ever.  People are mad and dammit, they aren't going to let ignorance get in their way!  So what are the critiques of universal health care?  People are claiming all sorts of things.  A big one is that this is socialism.  Socialism!  Just when you thought we'd defeated that back in the 80s, it rears it ugly head.  Another critique is that it will cost too much and another is that well, Obama is a fascist. 

Swine Flu: Take That Monkey Pox!

In funny illness news, Swine Flu is sweeping across North America.  It's all the rage these days in Mexico and the trend is catching on in the U.S. and Canada.  The marketing machine is already targeting overseas consumers and we've not seen such potential for a global fad since SARS was in style.  You might be asking "how can I get my very own Swine Flu?"  All you have to do is get one of these little guys on the right!  This small critter is as deadly as you can find.  His cute exterior is great packaging for Swine Flu.  The folks at Madison Avenue have done it again.

In an economy hit by a major recession, Big Epidemic has come through again.  Since their last product, Avian Flu, was generally thought of as a bust, this was a must win situation for them.  So far the first reviews have been great and this one really has the potential to go the distance.  This new product is also accessorized.  Giving this one a grade, we say A+!
