Growing up we didn’t have the privilege of having swine flu, all we had was Flu-Regular, it’s crazy how far the world has come in just a few short years.
Along side this evolution of the flu we’ve also seen an evolution in other aspects of society. We saw colas evolve to include only 1 calorie. We saw Tyler Perry evolve from a no-name writer to someone the entire country can hate equally. We saw yogurt evolve into a pouch you can take on the go. We saw the internet evolve beyond just a series of tubes. We saw Dominos evolve into a place where no one actually wants to eat anymore. But more importantly, and relevant to this title piece, we saw the news media evolve into a friend that no one likes because they are always gossiping about things they don’t know about and freaking you out over nothing but you still hang out with for reasons far beyond you. And breathe.
OK so the point of that tangent, however mixed up it may be, is that the news has gotten crazy good at freaking people out. Now in most cases it’s over stupid shit like “Studies show a resurgence in scurvy.” People will chat about it at the water cooler, maybe drink a glass of orange juice, and leave it at that. But every once in a while the media knocks it out of the park with an idea that spreads like lice in grammar school and totally scares the entire world. Swine Flu is one of those cases. The question is, are they doing us a favor or are they giving us a metaphorical oil check if ya catch my drift?
