Swine Fun

There has been one topic that has been recently all over the news outlets and people are on the brink of pronouncing the issue a pandemic. This being said, the complete give-away answer is the topic of the Swine Flu outbreak.

Starting in Mexico City, Mexico, this virus has been spreading like wild fire throughout the whole country. There have been several cases in the United States already established as Swine Flu, but there has not yet been an official American death.

The only instance where there has been a death in America is when 23 month year old baby was confirmed for the Swine Flu and shortly passed away; this child being from Mexico and transported to Texas for healthcare.

Though there has been cases national in the U.S., the cases that were found were quickly treated and the situation in America is currently assessed as much as the government can do at the moment.

Moving away from the quick Swine Flu recap, on The Daily Show, this topic also presented itself... in a more informal way, of course.

I just wanted to recap one instance where Jon Stewart showed the diagram of the country of Canada.

I know that the flu is not a topic which is easily made fun of, but Stewart makes the issue, like always, humorous.

Canada, if you see in the flick, is highlighted in a bright orange hue. There in bold text on the screen, are the words, "1 CASE FOUND."

Stewart, with his sarcastic sense of humor, says, "What?" and something on the lines of, "Because of one case the whole country has to be highlighted... ...I wonder how the country would look for the Herpes outbreak."

That was the high point of the segment to me and filled me with glee.

And I'm sure if any of you saw it, you would laugh as well... cheer up America!
