So anything with the word "swine" in it is offensive? Gimme a break.

I would suggest Jew Flu as a suitable alternative.

I've seen ultimate-er stupidities, but in general people should pull out the stick in their arses and not be so "up" on these things.

Besides, how is it offensive to name a bad thing after a bad animal?

I like how he suggests "Mexican Flu" instead as if that won't hurt people's sensitivities at all.

It's easily identified- the victims sit in a line, rise to their feet one after the other, raise their arms and then drop dead.

Jews and Muslims are so sensitive to pork they can't even hear the word? Somehow I wouldn't be surprised when a lot of people saying this is stupid and Jews and Muslims.

[GuineaPig]

Wait, shouldn't Jews and Muslims be glad it's called Swine flu? Sort of "proves" their thoughts of pork as being dirty and unclean.

All I know is I had a BLT for lunch today and thoroughly enjoyed it.

yeah
lol its funny that they complain that they are getting offended, but don't shirk from offending others!

[Frankie88]

Jew flu sounds kinda cool why don't we change it to that.

[Muagan_ra]

... first cartoons, now farm yard animals. I'm offended by David Cameron, does that mean he dosn't exist?

[Mithie]

What? Mad Cow Disease? But cows are sacred!

[Carach]

lol.....i love it when peopel get pissed off at the use of an established word.

[Da Skinna]

They got gipped.


See what I did there?

If it makes Jews to care about Islam then maybe it's not that much of a really bad thing after all (lulz). Read this:

Deputy Health Minister Yakov Litzman said the reference to pigs is offensive to both religions and "we should call this Mexican flu and not swine flu," he told a news conference Monday at a hospital in central Israel.

[Phier]

If they call it the bacon flu I'm going to start to bust heads.

No one insults bacon, no one I say!

[Mr. Pink]

That guy can GTF!

"Mexican influenza" laughable.

[Bovril]

Its just one guy, not "Jews and Muslims", who is saying this. Can I suggest that a certain amount of calming down might be in order?

[God-Emperor of Mankind]

how about the Taco flu ??
That shouldn't offend anyone.

[LSJ]

Yeah, let's call it the Mexican Flu. That's totally better.

Just because you cannot consume an animal, it should not mean you cannot label a disease after them... come on, its called the Swine Flu because it comes from Pigs (swine). Just like how the Bird Flu came from birds.
