@achewood Is eaten food technically rotting inside you? It's pretty warm in there. Technically, we all not only live in, but *are* "the danger zone."

A lonely young fellow named Fred,
Had a cock with a corkscrew shaped head!
He'd found what he'd hunted:
A lass corkscrew cunted
Alas, she had Fred-reversed thread.

Yeah, Kieth is right; why wouldn't people who don't like pigs take capitalize on a negative portrayal of pigs? Isn't nature kind of doing their work for them? Wouldn't they be like "See? See?"

Oh, right, I was so distracted making a Galactic Patrol joke I didn't get around to this.

I'm pretty sure the idea isn't to flatter pigs, it's to avoid stigmatizing people who have the disease. There are a lot of people who hear the name "swine flu" and assume you must have eaten/wrestled/fucked a pig to catch it. You know how some people won't tell anyone they have HIV or seek treatment because "it's a disease gay people get" and they don't want anyone thinking they're gay? Basically the same issue with calling something "swine flu" in Israel. It's not something you want added on top of a disease you're worrying about reaching epidemic nature.

There are a lot of people who hear the name "swine flu" and assume you must have (...)wrestled(...) a pig to catch it.

I like this idea for a disease.

The absurdity is veiled by the poetic charm with which the poet invests it.

It would be cooler if you had to wrestle a pig for the cure.*

* the cure, of course, is a soooey generis
