When Pigs Fry

I read this morning that the Egyptian government has ordered the slaughter of every pig in the country. I have a few things to say about this:
1. HOLY OVERREACTION BATMAN
2. Is it really going to prevent people from catching swine flu? What's the next step: shooting anyone who enters the country who 'may have' come in contact with someone who's been infected?
3. There have been no reported cases in Egypt. Really, I should invert 2 and 3.
4. Who does this help? It certainly isn't the pig farmer. Or the pig (but perhaps they're doomed anyway). Or even the consumer...
5. When does this stop? Who draws the line?

  1. I believe the artist draws the line Katelin Dean. We're just supposed to make something of it all.

  3. nice post kate...but i was expecting a joke. it goes soemthing like this(and don't be mad obama fans)...
    a few years ago they were taking a survey and they asked an african american man "do you ever think there will be an african american president?" the man replied "when pigs fly!!"
    well 100 days after obama was named president 'swine flu'...
    too far?!? too soon...it was lame, i'm sorry.

  4. Isn't Egypt a Muslim country? Who's going to eat all those little Babes?

  5. When does it stop?

    When the media stops making such a big fuss about, which wont be for a while.
