While watching Grey’s Anatomy last night I saw a commercial for some made for TV movie about the Avian Flu.

The only reason I’m watching Grey’s Anatomy is because I got sucked into that after the SuperBowl teaser about a Code Black.  What?  There’s a black guy in the hospital?  You’re just making that one up.  And then it ended up being a two parter which meant I had to watch the damn show again.  So you guessed it, I have another show to add to the line up; those bastards.

Now back to the annoying, up and coming made for TV movie and/or mini-series:  Your average American doesn’t know shit about this so called bird flu, or that most flu viruses come from goddamn birds anyway.  There are honest to God people out there who have stopped eating chicken ever since this new wave of terror popped up.  What a fantastic opportunity to cause wide spread panic and countless fetal positions (not to mention extra income for the pharmaceutical companies) by creating an Avian Flu movie filled with enough bullshit to squish between your toes.

I’ve already explained a bit about this virus and am not up to repeating it so go here.

That's the price of being a socially acceptable junkie.
