Swine Flu pandemic chock full of idiots

Porky Pig may appear bioterrorist to some, scapegoat to rest of world

By Noah Simone

Who could have known that Porky Pig was a bioterrorist? Since his creation in 1935, has Porky Pig been planning the "swine flu" pandemic so that he may someday rule the world? I could honestly say with a probability around 99.99 percent that the statements above have no relevancy of truth, but if you have been keeping up with the coverage of the current "swine flu" you will find that certain individuals believe Porky Pig is the one to blame for this pandemic For those individuals who have no obstacle that could interfere with one's ability in concerns to collective reasoning, who believe Porky Pig could be a bioterrorist, I say to you, "You are an idiot.
