We Didnt Start The Fire is even by Billy Joel standards crap.

Probably a lame attempt by the pork industry to make a viral at short notice as part of their PR panicking.

GENEVA (Reuters) - The World Health Organisation (WHO), bowing to pressure from meat industry producers and concerned governments, said on Thursday it would refer to a deadly new virus strain as influenza A (H1N1), not swine flu.Link. (http://uk.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUKTRE53T63H20090430)
Also, useless fact, but in Israel they won't call it swine flu because pigs are dirty. Its called Mexico flu.

In the last days they've been naming it Mexican flu in the Dutch media as well.

I call it "buy-Tamiflu-you-consumerist-bastards" flu !

Proposition for their new slogan:
Tamiflu ! Can't sell it without a pandemic flu !

Because human consumption of meat is the sole reason that these factory farms exist, PETA has fired off a letter to Mexico City Mayor Marcelo Ebrard urging him to encourage residents to go vegetarian, noting that such an action could help prevent future outbreaks. We're also shipping emergency Spanish-language copies of our "Vegetarian Starter Kit" in case residents need helpful tips when making the shift.

Never one to miss out on an opportunity like a good ol deadly pandemic to push their fluffy agenda, PETA are acting like scientologists or christian missionaries. I'm suprised they haven't pushed to have them called 'poo-poo bunnies' while they're at it.
