Chicken and Ham!!

So the piggy fever thing is still here! And frankly, I'm sick of it. Not one moment goes by when something or the other doesn't remind you of it. It's like the whole world around you is trying to tell you that you're gna die, but you aint gna go down peacefully, u're gna die wheeze-fully! It just makes me wonder. Every other year, some new disease just pops out of no where. Bird flu, swine flu, airplane flew, Nancy drew, coffee brew and what not! Is there like a secret lab, somewhere near Timbuktu, owned by health care companies, churning out diseases one by one, just so that people keep buying their stuff?! Does it have like workers and scientists and armed guards and what not working to finish developing the new strand of 'ong-balloonza-chlamydia-fooza' where you've to ear muffs to protect your brain from liquefying and leaking outta your nose?! i mean come on, SARS, flu's, even anthrax and other crap! the worst thing is, all these are now stealing the thunder from AIDS. The Human Immuno Virus is just sitting around the porch like a retired actor, because nobody cares for him anymore now! And medicine companies? Well they've just stopped caring! They made one drug and whenever a new disease bobs out, they just change the packaging and push it along! If you've SARS, take Tami flu! If you've Chick flu, take Tami flu! If you've Piglet Flu, take Tami flu! How lazy ass can you be?! i bet, the scientists there are probably enjoying themselves at their new 31 million euro condo in the south of France! think about it, when i was 3 years old and 4 inches tall, there was polio and cancer. Then there was polio, cancer and AIDS. Then there was polio, cancer, AIDS and plague.Then there was polio, cancer, AIDS, plague and SARS. And it went on. What happened to the medicines? The only people lazier than these drug companies are the designers at Porsche who've been making every 911 look the same for 40 years, Indian serial writers where every story is about females and their relationship with elders, and people working for Pritam, who just take an international song, replace the words with 'hindi bhaashaa waale shabd'! It has even taken people's minds off important things! Folks now go, "Screw recession, gimme my N95 mask!" But the thing is, as time goes by our body develops immunity to viruses, or we just learn to live with it! In 20 years Lil boy Johnny is gonna come to the school one day and tell Rita ma'am "Chowee, i cdnt come yesht-uhh-day, my AIDS was acting up!" And the merchandising! how can we forget those! gas masks, caps, aprons, condoms, insurance, helmets! I'm not saying you don't need them, some yo really do, like condoms, which if you don't use, can lead to babies, who grow up, and write blogs! and Insurance? well, we all are gna die someday, but having insurance just makes sure that you die on a cot, later! But its all up to us now, we could panic and surrender, like the french in WW2. Or we could be informed, and fight! Or, you can be staunch, shrewd and stubborn and refuse to wear masks! LIKE ME! :D
