Bird Flu Blockbuster for Sept… Surely to be Followed by Another Season of FUD

By McCullough Friday July 15, 2011

Perhaps they’ll open the movie with this classic PSA.

We’re all gonna DIE!!!!! Now if we can just get a vaccine for FUD.

Don’t you just love how Hollywood sticks up for the “under dog”. Or in this case, whatever isn’t doing as well, financially, that it needs a movie to scare or inspire people into paying for it. Whether it’s the horse racing industry (Seabiscuit, Secretariat, to name the two most recent), or Contagion, to bolster sales of the Flu vaccines (which apparently aren’t selling as well as hoped). And of course there are “CARS” and “CARS 2″. To introduce the kids to the environmentally unfriendly sport of auto racing. Which, like horse racing, might start to lose public interest, without infusing each new generation with the mania of it all. Me, I can’t see the attraction of watching cars drive in circles for hours. And possibly getting hit by a flying tire. And when some jerk starts talking about me giving up something necessary to fix Global Warming. And I get no response to them giving up auto racing, to do the same. I say screw the hypocrites and their own personal obsessions. Like having or watching bigger and faster cars, that pollute worse than anything.

Am I the only one who thinks the entertainment industry has turned into just one big prostitute of special interests. Like the pharmaceutical industry, the auto industry, the gambling industry (how many late night Poker Tv shows, “Ocean’s 11″ and “Casino” movies do we need?), the military industrial complex (“The Unit”, “NCIS”, “Combat Hospital”, and lots of war movies), the legal profession (“Law and Order”, CSI, “Private Practice”), the medical profession (mostly Tv shows), and of last but not least, the aerospace industry (mostly via the Syfy and Discovery channels). Yeah, if its worth billions, and possibly depends heavily on taxpayer dollars. There will be Tv shows and movies devoted to its survival and continued lack of efficiency. What we really need in the US, is an “Extreme Homeland Makeover – US Government Spending Edition”. Get the fat cats in Congress to reduce! Instead of shows and movies telling US citizens, you’re government isn’t spending enough. They’ll be crying the blue about no more Space Shuttle missions, until the next expensive toy flying into space.

I’m sorry for anyone who gets sick. I’ve not gotten any flue for years, and not gotten any vaccines either. The military killed my trust in them. I got sick from the vaccine they insisted I had to have. And then dropped the whole program, only after a bunch of elderly civilians got serious ill from the shots. That was 1978′s Swine Flu scare.

Since then I’ve learned that about five strains of flu circuit the world every year. And they only poor money into a vaccine for the one they “think” will most likely infect the US. What they do for the rest of the world? Who knows? But with air travel being so prevalent these days. I say it’s outmoded thinking, to believe that only one flu strain will show up in any one country. So the only one you can get, is only good for maybe 20% of what’s coming at you. And just by washing your hands, keeping your fingers out of your nose, and avoiding people who run around sick as dogs in public (movies, concerts, shops, etc.). Then you’ll probably have a better chance of defeating this year’s flues, than getting a shot for only one of them. Which could end up doing more harm than any good.

I just wish they’d make a vaccine for the rest of us facing drivers, with cellphones glued to their faces, driving oblivious to the world around them. Now that would be a life saver!

BTW, where are all the REAL WORLD problem movies, they don’t make? Like all the harm and death caused by recreational drug abuse? Hollywood can’t point a finger at Meth users, because why? It might upset someone?! Or how about air travel screw ups at airports, because they refuse to improve and adopt better taxing procedures. Or train foreign and domestic pilots to follow the damn rules! Or movies about how some of the industry exhausts regional pilots to the point of flying asleep. And qualifying, new airline pilots far too quickly, as captains, to meet the demands. Or tons of very real problem that aren’t addressed at all, by the Hollywood scare machine. Who’d rather make movies about Meteors hitting the earth. Or the Russians invading the US (remember “Amerika”, “Red Dawn” and “WW3″?). Yeah, let’s worry about that, and forget the real stuff that happens every damn day!! That no movies will ever touch as a subject. They completely missed the Mortgage meltdown. They did a documentary on EnRon, a couple years too late. But so far nothing on how Bernie Madoff, AIG and others screwed us. But hey, look out for those Killer Bee swarms, that never showed up.
