Chill the Fuck Out.

You are not going to die of Swine Flu.  I don't understand why this is so hard for so many people to understand.  You didn't die of SARS, you didn't die of the West Nile Virus, you didn't die of Avian Flu, and you sure as hell aren't going to die of this god damn Swine Flu.

I swear, the news media is fucking ridiculous.  It seems like just about any time someone gets some kind of new-ish disease that they immediately blow it WAY out of proportion, instead of focusing on shit we should actually care about.  And yeah, that last one is about Chuck.  Chuck is an awesome show and it should not be canceled.  If it is, I will be really mad at NBC.  I'd threaten to boycott it, but I fuckin love Heroes.  My gods I am a nerd.

Anyway, I guess the main point of this is that people are idiots.  It's not the fault of the media; nobody seems to realize it, but we control the news cycle.  They know that their ratings go up if they create panic among the general population; we're the ones that drive those ratings up when they do.  Shit's ridiculous.

In other news, my teachers, with a few exceptions, are fucking morons.  Two of them in particular really should not have gotten the jobs that they have.  That's all I'll say here.

Peace out bitches.
