"Why bother to contain it? Let the bodies pile up in the streets"

I'm loving this sinster epidemiological nightmare of a youtube clip, even if (or perhaps, especially because) some of the dialogue is over the top.

"Of course they're desperate. They can smell their death. And the sound they make rattling their cage will serve as a warning to the rest."

And while we're on the topic of swine flu and youtube, here's another curiosity making the rounds on the net; don't know how many of you have seen it: A 1976 government public service announcement advising Americans to get swine flu vaccinations. The more thing change...

That is the video game called Deus Ex making that quote.

en.wikipedia.org...

The plot of Deus Ex depicts a society on a slow spiral into chaos. A lethal pandemic known as the "Gray Death" ravages the world's population, especially within the United States, and has no cure. A synthetic vaccine, "Ambrosia", manufactured by the company VersaLife, nullifies the effects of the virus, but is in critically short supply. Because of its scarcity, Ambrosia is available only to those deemed "vital to the social order", and finds its way primarily to government officials, military personnel, the rich and influential, scientists, and the intellectual elite.

Deus Ex (abbreviated DX[1] and pronounced /ˌdeɪəsˈɛks/ DAY-uss EX) is a cyberpunk-themed action role-playing game developed by Ion Storm Inc. and published by Eidos Interactive in the year 2000

en.wikipedia.org...

Ion Storm Inc. (sometimes spelled ION Storm) was a Texas based developer of computer games founded by John Romero, a co-creator of the wildly popular Doom franchise; Tom Hall; Todd Porter, and Jerry O'Flaherty, under the slogan "Design is Law".

If there is people who actually think they can destroy the world and become "Gods", well, they are in for a big surprise. The end of the first movie is from the same game I guess.

Your stated mood makes your post very ironic.
