Protect Yourself Against the Swine Flu, With Style [PHOTOS]
Gizmodo ^ | 30 April 2009 | Gizmodo

The WHO has raised the Swine Flu—which you can follow in this map or through Twitter—to alert level 5, which means a pandemic is imminent. Not funny. Some people, however, are having fun.

In Mexico everyone is wearing masks. People are getting bored of wearing the same thing, so they have started to decorate them in all kinds of styles. As you can see, many of them show their always ironic  look at death and fascination with los muertos.

 



 

 

My favorites, however, are these colorful masks designed by Japanese artist Yoriko Yoshida.

Well, so far Obammy has been good for the guns, ammo and mask businesses.

Or is the Swine flu still Bush’s fault?

I hope Michelle starts to wear one. It will improve her appearance. Maybe she can have one with a smile instead of her normal scowling face.
