Swine Flu!

Sorry, I meant, Influenza A virus, subtype H1N1. I wouldnt want people to get the wrong idea and see the price of pork bellies fall any further. Anyway, I’ve been traveling quite a bit these days (most recently to the lovely state of Michigan) and I can’t believe how many people I’ve seen wearing those protective masks with the little rubber bands wrapped around their ears. Frankly, I think its all a bit ridiculous. I mean, havent they been following the news? Its just the friggin flu. Seriously, get yourself some CleanWell and stock up on Emergen-C if your really worried. Regardless, thanks to industrious designers, like Irina Block here, perhaps a few of the hysterical germaphobes will don a mask with a big piggy snout, gigantic kissy lips, or even a mainly, fearsome beard. At least that way the rest of us can have a good laugh. Gd.
