Swine / Media Flu and other stories

So if anything came out of last nights grad catch up (besides a Friday-at-work hangover) it has driven me to write on this blog. I have to say it has not been a great track record of blogging so far, but that is set to change - someone just needs to make the first move.

So come on you swines and blog!

Swine flu has generated some pearlers around my office - I phoned the swine flu hotline, but all I heard was crackling. How do you know if you have swine flu? you come out in rashers. There are so many jokes flying around, its like an epidemic. While the media is going nuts over pork, it seems that these so-called pandemics are losing credibility becuase of the hysteria. Is it just another way for pharmaceutical companies to make money from human suffering? Credit crunch. Times are hard.

In any case, I am suffering from a severe case of wine flu. After an interesting chat with Jeremy Johnston at Sugar Advertising about life as an indie agency, we proceeded to do what we do best. Drink wine. And the rest is history.

Anyway, tune in next week for a new post. I nominate Arielle.
