Thread Name: BS: Obit & Debate for Swine Bird Human flu victims
Subject: RE: BS: Obit for Swine Bird Human flu victims
Israel's deputy minister for Public Health, Jakow Litzman, an orthodox Jew, has said that the name Swine flu is an insult and affront both to Muslims and Jews since in their religions the swine is considered impure. "We shall call it Mexican flu" he said.

My god (figure of speech), some of the religionists are really extremely easily insulted. The PC word is now New flu, I have read.
