I find that interesting as well as amusing. Poor thing must not understand the subtleties of some humor. Could be that there is some sort of mental defect interfering with his or her comprehension.

What's more unclean than spreading disease? If anything, calling it "swine flu" shows the prohibition to be correct. I would think the health minister would be happy to say," look, we were right.

Hilarious! (in a most offensive way of course) So on the news this morning I heard that the Mexican ambassador to Israel has already complained that they are very offended that Israel thought it fit to exchange "Swine" for "Mexican." Why does this make me laugh so much? It is bloody awful but sort of reminds me of something I'd see in a Monty Python sketch.
