Regarding the World Health Organization raising its pandemic level to "OMG OMG FREAK OUT" level this afternoon, Rod Townsend notes: "Can you imagine if they had reacted in such a manner to AIDS? There would be art and music and fashion in the world. And Miley Cyrus would be working at a McDonald's in Branson, Missouri."
Also, Larry Kramer might quit yelling about absolutely everything. Also, no sucky AIDS movies, although I suppose influenza de porcino will generate a genre of equal awfulness. "Longtime Companion" or "Rent" featuring only pigs might have potential though.
Also, Pedro Zamora could be the go-to mouthpiece for gay marriage rights instead of a dude who runs a blog centered around drawing penises on paparazzi photos. BONUS!
Well I would like Mr. Smarty Pants Townsend to tell me who exactly would be providing your advertising revenue this week, hmmmm? Thought so.
OMG WHAT IF IT WERE WINE FLU?
They don't have any ethnic restaurants in Branson.
