Media Amnesia
Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Media Amnesia:
It's been a number of months since the media reported on the 'worrying' and deadly H5N1 version of bird flu that was going to wipe out millions and do more damage to the planet than global warning and Cyberdine Systems combined
Then a swan washes up in the ar$e end of Scotland and the panic grows as bird flu hits our shores.
Then silence, complete media silence... Has bird flu dissapeared? Have the media suffered aviatory amnesia?...
How Bizaare...
Now, I never cared for the threat of Bird Flu for me or my family because Im from up north and incredibly tough, but southerners were apparantly in real danger...
So what happened, where did it go?
ALSO - I presume no-one ever gets stabbed anymore? When the last knife amnesty was announced, the media made headline news whenever someone chopped up a gerkin in a kitchen, never mind someone got stabbed out in the ghetto...
Now you could be hacked to death by a knife wielding maniac and it might make it onto your local news, just after an announcement of a new wind farm that is to be built...
I am getting so media scpetic now Im in my 30's... As you can tell

So true thought the same the other day, seems like they forgot about the Tsunami as well, it would be nice to see how they are rebuilding their lives or not as is probably the case for many thousands.
