New health threat: SLOPS

The World Health Organisation today issued a new warning against non-essential travel to the entire Western hemisphere following renewed concerns about the spread of Severe Loss of Perspective Syndrome (SLOPS).

Officials are warning travellers not to visit the UK, the US, almost all of Western Europe, and Canada, following further outbreaks of the disease, which has led to mass panic among the media, thousands of ecstatic children being kept out of school by their credulous and moronic parents, and increased profits for DIY stores as the idiot public rush to bulk-buy face masks and boiler suits.

A WHO spokesman said, "You'd be much better off going to somewhere like Thailand or China, because all you've got to worry about there is SARS, and let's face it, you're about as likely to die from that as you are to get kicked to death by a gang of zombie nuns."

The SARS virus has now claimed a staggering 500 lives in only six months, which makes it considerably more deadly than, say, malaria, which only kills around 3000 people every single day. Malaria, however, mainly effects only darkies what speak foreign, whereas SARS has made at least one English person feel a bit iffy for a couple of days, and is therefore considered much more serious.

The spread of SLOPS has now reached pandemic proportions, with many high-level politicians seemingly affected by the disease. The rapid spread of SLOPS has been linked to the end of the war in Iraq and the need for Western leaders to give the public something to worry about. Otherwise, they might start asking uncomfortable questions about domestic issues, and
that simply would not do. Anyone who appears to be exhibiting symptoms of SLOPS should be dragged into the street by their genitals and shot.

Cheers
Mick

BTW, this was sent to me by a local, Australian epidemiologist. So it must be true.

WHAA-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!

Great post, Mick!

Well. I am sorry about the (approx. 700) people who have died due to SARS. And I don't wish to seem callous, but on a planet of about, what? FIVE BILLION people? These guys wanna call this an epidemic??

Gimme a break.

Let's have a new TV channel! We'll make a FORTUNE!!

The FEAR Channel!

ALL FEAR! All the time!

x:: "Bicycle riding WILL KILL YOU!!!"

xx:: ""COOKING ACCIDENTS! These people are dead from cooking their own food!"

xxx:: "Did you go walking today? READ THE FEARFUL RESULTS!!"



Hey, folks. The fact is, none of us gets out of here alive.

RELAX!

and I hope I'm not begging an "afterlife" type of response.

OTH, I am a bit crabby lately, so....

Knot, I think your idea of a FEAR channel has already been done.

It's called CNN isn't it?



Cheers

I should have my own show on there:

My wife would tune in.

You know how we're supposed to check our smoke detectors every six months? The way my wife cooks, they get tested much more frequently than that!
