dramatization

i'll probably get swine flu just for saying this, but whats the big deal folks? the normal flu kills thousands of people every year! thats why people get flu shots! but people are freaked, clorox stock is rising and people are going crazy. today's news straight from CNN, "boyz II men singer has H1N1" another celebrity falls victim, (insert expressions of shock and gasps to boot). how is this newsworthy people? seriously? do celebrities not get sick? do they not share the same air? i'm pretty sure my US weekly has a segment every week with "stars they're just like us!" so whats the big deal?

i don't care what celebrity gets swine flu or the regular flu for that matter. the only bright side to this is that i am at least relieved that america doesn't give celebrities flu shots before the rest of us measly, regular, ol' folks.
