I hate capitalism :(

The link just goes to the videos page. You should probably fix it or tell us what we're meant to watch.

Ahh, stupid CNN links don't work as they should :glare:
I fixed it now.
Basically its a report regarding swine flu and how masks are becoming fashionable and how its "hype" while people are dying in Mexico.
Just the whole idea makes me feel sick.

WHAT THE FUCK!? :scared::glare::cursing:

Leave it to american marketers to capitalize on the preventable deaths of people infected with the flu.

That is just awful American cappies suck.

If the cappies are great in one thing than it is capitalising on anything. Even in the worst situation they will find a method to rake in money, I bet if the Marsian would land and slaughter humanity they would sell them better rifles.
So it's almost lame to sell "trendy" swine flue masks for 14$, I would have expected something more impressing, e.g. selling video tapes where you can see the slow and painful death of a whole Mexican family infected with swine flu for cheap 32.99$. That would have been evening fun for the whole family! :cool:

Indeed, don't say it twice, you'll get them ideas if they happen to lurk around here :cool:
What was that famous quote? "Capitalist will sell us the rope which we'll use to hang them" ?

But seriously, that shit is just awful. I *understand* the bastards who want to capitalise on virtually everything, but what gets me even more down is how people accept this as normal and are so quick to even make fun out of those who suffer.
On different places on internet, like Youtube, I read dozens of comments like "Mexican are filthy and that's why they die and we don't" - what a damn horrible thing to say.. :(

What makes me sick is the media creating panic by blowing the issue completely and utterly out of proportion.

It's just a strain of flu, get over it.

This is something that upsets me even more. I seriously hope that people who think that way will learn that the Mexicans are not the only ones who die of swine flu the hard way...

STJ, please, stop making one-line joke posts. This is not the first time I've found you doing this in one of the main forums. This is not the purpose of the politics forum, and it is especially not appropriate for you. Consider this a verbal warning.
