It's because you're not COOL enough to be the Weeners what everyone else was also thinking.

I love swine though.............fark! I was going to go down to this new restaurant I found, a greesy spoon where they serve pulled pork sandwhiches that are so greasy, the paper is translucent when I get it home.

This is actually the solanum virus. The flu story is to cover for the zombies. This means it is time to update your plans.

I'm ashamed to say I don't get the Madagascar reference.
But, in my defense it has been many months since I've farked.

If only there was some way to keep the infested illegal aliens out of our country.

The Fail is strong with this one.

1. Mexico City doesn't have a President.
2. They only closed cultural centers (museums, theaters, etc) and schools: public transit, stores, and offices remain open.
3. I submitted this with 5 headlines: they were all better.

Pandemic II. Take a whack at it, and notice how fast Madigascar goes on lockdown.

 
dennysgod 2009-04-25 12:51:30 PM  
I guess the scariest about this one is the fact that this one isn't a NIMBY. It ups the fear factor.

How can anyone in Mexico have any sort of flu? I thought the entire country moved to the Southwest.

/close enough?

I'm thinking they'll eventually make Vaults in Mexico City, if the thing blows into a pandemic.

I'm actually worried. A friend lives there, and well, I'm just concerned.

Slick Nick: I'm ashamed to say I don't get the Madagascar reference.

It's a pretty weak game you can find online. I forget the name, but the goal is to create a superbug that kills everyone on the planet. Madagascar is almost impossible because they close their only port at the drop of a hat.

The cliche sucks too IMO. Give me ha ha guy anyday over this.

That's ok, it's always good for a laugh for the rest of us. If you can't laugh at someone else's filter fail, what can you laugh at?

They're taking safety measures on flights from Mexico to Spain and Japan. You'll get quarantined and a scanned if you sneeze on the flight. I suppose other countries will do this as well, but these are the only two I've read about so far.

You're either trolling or you are one of those guys that doesn't understand meme's, and hates everyone else who enjoys them. I'm guessing you're not a troll, so that's a Fail Fail right there.

You must be new here.

For those who don't get it...

Pandemic 2 is a flash based game where the player fills the role of a disease trying to kill humanity. You only win if you get to all areas of the globe, but you must also only have a specific number of transport methods. Madagascar is notoriously difficult to infect due to the area's tendency to shut down all ports the moment anything looks awry. This has become a full fledged Fark meme.

I rather liked Pandemic 2, the music is cool and the first few times you play it are really fun. Then, you realize that you will never take Madagascar, and that sucks.

Isn't disease a mechanism by which most populations of animals (which is what we are) control their numbers by weeding out the weak and elderly? Should we just let this run its course and see who survives?

I'd like to get back to genetic basics. :P

You must be new here, the game has been brought up multiple times in this thread, yet you explain it like you're the first one to do it. Also, you said "fark meme" which is an instant fail. Most memes don't originate on fark.

Yeah, except this one has killed young & healthy.

Can we call it Captain Trips too?

Young and healthy in Mexico, which is "barely alive" here. Notice no fatalities in the US.
