Comical swine flu announcement by David Letterman (VIDEO)
Funny Rating: Not bad
Description with minor spoilers: Here the CBS Late Show host talks briefly about the swine flu epidemic –pronouncing the illness as if aphasic— and proceeds to cover some of the symptoms. Then, Letterman presents an “important swine flu announcement from the Lt. Governor of Iowa”. Suffices to say, the governor doesn’t present as the best spokeswoman nor instills much confidence in the audience.

Serious swine flu humor
“Aporkalypse Now?” grabbed my attention as a winning and humorous H1N1 title. A serious and well-written entry by a young journalist as she chronicles her stay in Mexico City while the swine flu pandemic unfolds around her. It is not a humor piece but it evokes the author’s humorous spirit in face of tragedy. As such, it is included here. Warning: It may be a (humor) buzz killer.

This wasn't funny at all. I didn't laugh once. I don't even understand what you were talking about. Something about Letterman, then Iowa, then swine flu. Something about dying and clicking on an ad? Then back to swine flu?
Stay away from the "funny" stuff.
This is just like the office, I love it!
