"This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but with an oink." - TS Eliot
This the beginning of the end. The sky is falling. The earth is warming. The president's airplanes are threatening the New York skyline.
And the pigs. And the birds. And the humans. And the flu are going viral.
If you think Susan Boyle was infectious, you better break out the Tamilflu doses and strap on the ol' SARS mask, 'cuz this swine flu pandemic is going to make M.I.A's avian squawking sound like yesteryear's poetic whimper.
If 10,000 hysterical Tweets per hour can be trusted — and we all know that they can — swine flu is the new bird flu which was the new SARS which was the new WMD which was the new anthrax which was the new mustard gas which was the new nukes.
This panicky pandemic is so dangerous that Israel dares not even call it by its real name and has blamed this deadly "offense" on Mexico.
It is so frighteningly foreign that Michael O'Leary, the CEO of 1 penny flight company Ryanair, has boldly declared that it is "only a risk to Asians and Mexicans living in slums". Ryanair won't be flying to Mexico...ever.
It is so insinuatingly infectious that American conservatives have, in their infinite wisdom, blamed immigrants for the spread of the disease and, specifically, Mexicans that are "purposefully carrying the virus across the border to sabotage the United States".
But who is really to blame for the horror, the horror? This pig-licking little youngster has killed us all.

This mini-Kurtz, this harvester of viral yumminess, has helped the Ham of Darkness and thereby sought an untimely end to all life as we know it — unwittingly striking fear into the dark hearts of beach vactioners the infected world over.
Here are the facts: people are traveling. People are coughing. People are dying.
And then people are coming back to life to haunt us.
That's right. This is no ordinary pig party. This ain't the usual oink-fest that the swine flu pandemic purports itself to be.
Give the dead and dying 28 more days because, certainly, the terror has already been unleashed.
Mexico City is a "strange zombie city" and many of the world's wisest are convinced the virus will sooon mutate and allow the dead to rise again.
But, perhaps, the most indelible proof of the impending aporkalypse comes from two of Hollywood's most frightening celebrizombies who ventured deep into the hollow depths of the outbreak's terrifying shadow world of half-humans:
"We're definitely wearing the facemasks everywhere we go," Spencer Pratt revealed..."We're not playing -- I'm not trying to get pig flu. We're in isolation, we're in full hiding."
Heidi Montag chimed in: "And for a moment it seemed to me as if I also were buried in a vast grave full of unspeakable secrets. I felt an intolerable weight oppressing my breast, the smell of damp earth, the unseen presence of victorious corruption, the darkness of an impenetrable night..."
Godspeed. And God help us all.

Great piece, Truemorist! Thanks!

Excellent article. It puts it all in perspective. :)

Your humour slays us all.... (no really!)
Disturbingly though, some woman from WHO was on the BBC telling us that travel advisories and restrictions are useless. The BBC woman wisely pointed out that this would seem to be the wrong advice given that travel restriction would seem to always be a good idea, no? No, no! insisted the woman (appearing a little flustered). It makes NO difference at all... modellling tells us this.. yada yada.
"Bull.." I thought. Don't tell me that cancelling the (theoretical) student exchange flight of 1000 youngsters from Mexico to Switzerland would make no difference! The only legitimacy to this idea exists if it comes from air travel and tourism companies listed on stock exchanges around the world. Otherwise it's total bunkum.
I smell the disturbing influence of pork/moneyed interests in WHO's activities...

I think that everyone who is infected by this so called "swine/zombie flu" is going to die, then turn into flesh eating man killers!!!!

This is a pretty ignorant comment.

Superb post! Grab your machete and run for the hills, the pigs, they are a comin' to get ya!

Well there needs to be a lot of reading between the lines. The first data gathering was y2k. What would the people do? How will they react? They did just fine, perfect for survival of the human race. Now lets build a freezer away from the impact area for seeds since there will obviously be survivors. Now lets create a panic and a war to see how reactions are. Everyone is still controllable, great and still stocking up. Now lets take all there money away and see what they do. Great still controllable and buying supplies. Now lets create a panic pandemic and see how they react. Great controllable as ever and stocking up on supplies. Now lets spring it on them. There is a real star gate being made and it will work, it CERNtainly will. You see, they must come before the asteroid hits. Only they can save us. Whoever THEY are.

I wondered how long until Aporkalypse would come into wide spread circulation. Just after the reported cases started multiplying, a co-worker decided to come up with a new term for the swine flu, and you guessed it....Aporkalypse was it!
