April 27, 2009: The Day in 100 Seconds

[17107Jon17107]

This is my birthday...

[Ubendorf]

pandemic-sminish its just stupid controlled media...now the plague now THATS pandemic i dont see any ditches filled with dead, infected bodies society hasnt shut down because this is just sooo bad...man ppl really watch this shit huh?

[Maxito4321]

Yeah the fear but it hasnt yet reached my country and i am a vegetarian so i have no fear and yeah i know it spreads through air

[Cpryd001]

Being a vegetarian doesn't make you immune. But good luck though.

[victor2cutube]

FOX fake news is always out there spushing the panic and fear for ratings

[breastinspector2]

Indeed. That last clip is proof.

[victor2cutube]

spushing=pushing

[Pho39]

I was eating a baconator when some bitch gave me the stink eye. I then proceeded to take the bacon out and seductively lick each strip slowly. Feel bad for the pork industry its gonna go to hell because of this.

[sgtheadhole]

lol

[SveinTore90]

He has forbidden you only the maytatah (dead animals), and blood, and the flesh of swine [al-Baqarah 2:173]

Quran.

ppl wake up

[JerryRSun]

We've gotten diseases from all animals that we harvest. Don't act like the Quran predicted this. That's superstitious.

[JediBlitz1024]

I find the editing hilarious. Especially Sanjay Gupta, who is "wearing" a mask

[elle18889]

what if the swine flu is all a hoax and it turns out that it's a made up virus to distract us from the economy. and what if the swine flu is just the regular flu(meaning the "swine" flu is just a name to for panic and distractions).

i mean, it IS flu season.

[rodzmen1]

Swine flu has been around for a long time. Baxter pharmacutical made the virus and someone supposedly stole it and shipped it to the Netherland where a pee-on cop found it and Baxter co. said some asshole stole it. That is true

[RaymondFurniture]

Shep Smith sums it up beautifully at the end.

[paganiniff7jc]

the more you panic the more stress you put yourself through.. thus your immune system will weaken.. so don't get into the media hype. worry once it's evident in your own community

[ShirakOmegaX]

I agree stress does make your immune system more susceptible. Influenza kills thousands every year this is influenza with swine at the front of it. This is fear mongering at its worst.

[alex93535]

i agree with the guy below me. this should planet be done.alot of bad things are happening in this world and theres nothin we can do about it

[HersheyGirl4301]

everything happens for a reason guys dont lose faith.

[access08intro]

can this world just be over with already?!

[mwoodj]

"40 people have the flu so you alll be careful!"

ROFLMAO!!!!

[Frankie5891]

hahahaha! I thought the same thing.

[ArtieatsRamen]

I just found out my firend has the swine flu!!!!!

[HersheyGirl4301]

Im soo sorry.

[IAmFr33Xp]

So much fear being spread for no reason. Everyone freak out like this in the 70s, got the vaccination, and then more people died from the vaccination than the virus.

[dragonmemories]

1:38 i agree with him its just 40 cases in what more than 1 billion people around the world. I thnk becuase of the media that has reported it has made a panic among the people and becuase of the lockdown of a whole capitol city so fast i think thats what it is.

[S0vereignty]

Let's add the Swine Flu to the list of things that could cause "Global Armageddon".

It will look great next to Global Warming, Supervolcanoes, Asteroid Impacts, Nuclear War, The Avian Bird Flu, Mega Tsunamis and The Rapture.

[NeilKeepinItReal]

stupid fuckers

[SHADESaklein]

So did the Pigs start boinking the Birds and that's how this most powerful flu version started getting made? Last time I heard bird flu was because some horny mad cows started boinking large birds like Emu which also had a thing for large chicken....

[TrustKovacss]

don't panic people..the government is just testing you.

[supermanky]

Everywhere there's lots of piggies

Living piggy lives.

You can see them out for dinner

With their piggy wives.

Clutching forks and knives...to eat their bacon

[neverlookback75]

People! The only way to ensure you're immunized is to eat bacon! Lots of bacon!

[stardust7920042]

im eating ham while watching this lol

[Onompoly]

Ironically I had 2 ham sandwiches yesterday and in between I had left the ham out for a while.

Remember what happened to the Native Americans who were isolated from viruses?

[SJGster]

Leaving the ham out sounds more dangerous than eating ham. You CANNOT get Swine Flu from properly cooked food (well, not pork anyway, I think)

[cowpoxz]

Really?? I thought you had to wear it to be immunized

[neverlookback75]

Nooo...they've developed a special piggy cologne/perfume for that.

[mmalu25]

okay this is a very serious situation but the way the video was composed was hilarious

[smelliex3]

i liked that last guy who spoke.

[gtgoskate]

lol its up to 168 people dead now

[TheGreatAgnostic]

Don't believe anything the media says.If the media says "don't panic" then panic.

[Karlfalcon]

You know why people in Mexico are dying from the flu?

CAUSE THEY LIVE IN FUCKING GODFORSAKEN MEXICO.

It's the FLU, people, get over it. Like we've never had the flu before.

[veegz93]

that.... is..... a VERY GOOD POINT

[TedinLasVegas]

In 1918, a flu epidemic killed millions...

It CAN be a big deal but I don't think this will be.

[dragonfox312]

hooray for jon stewart last night

[tra12345iscool]

good thing gupta wasnt the surgeon general

[DrSonus]

I agree. I get the feeling he declined the nomination because of some pretty big skeletons in the closet. That guy just seems he has something major to hide.

[DrSonus]

BTW - my comment was for tra12345iscool

[paintdataint]

Am i the only one who is not afraid of this in the least bit and thinking that if anyone is they are being utterly rediculous.

[ConstantlyQuestion]

The Daily show was the only news outlet that had any journalistic integrity while reporting this issue.

That saddens me.

[DillonX]

The Dems would've been filibuster-proof next year even if Specter hadn't come aboard.

If the GOP wants to have a future they need to get rid of the far-out idiots like Hannity, Beck & Rush.

[Jaromani]

Barrack Obama > Ron Paul

[lordaltay5]

Your math is a little off. Ron Paul > Barrack Obama

[chavetto]

So Dramatic. I'm still in a panic over SARS, African Killer Bees, the Avian Bird Flu.....

[pdheartbreak]

real life Dustin Hoffman's movie, "Outbreak"

[Taino187]

Woah... Newsflash:

Arlen Specter is switching political parties!

He's changing from Republican to Democrat!

The Dems will become fillibuster-proof!

Such drama in politics... :-)

[LISANDRO67826782]

No one in the United States has died from this virus I dont understand the hype this is getting calm the f*** down

[bgrawhot]

The new virus has made the jump from pigs to humans and has demonstrated it can also pass from human to human. This is why it is demanding so much attention from health authorities. The virus passes from human to human like other types of flu, either through coughing, sneezing, or by touching infected surfaces, although little is known about how the virus acts on humans.

[KosmicCitizen]

Creating panic is a shameful way to get ratings. This is the key weakness of the modern press - it's integrity can be bought via ad revenues (either the threat of their removal or the promise of increase.)

This is a seriously matter. While arousing people's interest is laudable, causing undue social disturbance and possibly paralysis through sensationalistic reporting, is irresponsible.

[blastedwpg]

I remember that old episode on The Simpsons where Kent Brockman(news anchor) has a headline in the back saying,"Time to Panic" lol

[marchilago]

THX GOD when you tell us to not eat pigs. now look at those poor ppl

[dimedizzle]

he means in America I assume. He's also retarded so it could be either. The woman he's talking to knows it too.

[MrFlyPerfect]

Shep Smith is the only show on Fox News that I watch. He'll be a legend in news one day when Fox fires him.

[discountBush]

Dr. Gupta wears the mask around his neck because that's where the flu gets in.

[minizer999]

hogwash

[maskedphrogg]

Sanja Gupta

Drama Queen

What school gave him a Medical Degree?

[bleunt]

Hahaha! This was THE most hilarious clip for a long time.

[robinvan1983]

I know what the news of tomorrow will be:

don't take the swine flu vaccine cause that leads to autism

[tribidemp]

Fox thought that the swine flu has never been seen before? I suppose if you don't count the outbreaks in 2007 in the Philippines or 1976 right here in America. Who does their research?

[djdk89]

greta or sean hannity

[newton2013]

This isn't simply Swine Flu. It is a mix of at least 5 virus, bird, pig, and human strains from multiple continents. It has Never been seen before by the scientific community in man or animal. . Who does your research? :)

[springtvwellington]

last one, love him who is he?

[nicolenigro]

Shep Smith. He is one of the only, if not the only, person on Fox who makes any sense and isn't bat-shit crazy.

[Turambar88]

Shep Smith getting all reasonable again. Good for him

[nicolenigro]

Shep Smith cracks me up!

[geothevanni]

"the symptoms are flu-like"

awesome.

[charbroiledmonk1033]

lol 40 people have the flu WATCH OUT!

[ehkinoh]

WTF is up with Shepard these days?! A FOX NEWS host that is making sense?!?! unbelievable!!!!

First he's anti-torcher, setting himself apart from the rest of Fox, and now he puts this whole swine flu thing into perspective by using numbers... what happened to this guy?!

[wacman1389]

shep smith ftw

[mike50333]

It's a full blown miracle!

[KruNae]

Don't know. Maybe he'll stop wearing so much make up soon...then be fired.

[MooseOfReason]

Jack Cafferty (on CNN) said 36,000 people a year in the US die from the flu.

I don't see that on the front page of the NY Post.

0:34 - "Bahbahbah!"

Stop panicking.

[Cheshirecatmeow1]

Wearing a mask for protection is like using a wire fence to catch dust.

[BobCassidy]

No, its better than that. It does stop you breathing in water droplets.

[oblibious47]

Wait was that an OINK I heard?  OMG.

[chjustin69]

Also today the new blog launched CodeJustin(.)com about programming!

[burntonion05]

Don't waste your time worrying about some stupid flu. It is Obama that we all need to concentrate our fear on.

--Fox News

[MA453]

lol

[SubmarinerAndroid]

I think I have a little scratch in my throat...how's my forehead? Kind of warm; too warm?... Is one of my lymph nodes swollen? maybe? omgomgomg

[mos277]

swine flu: 40 cases in US all of those people are better.

that is less than 1 percent of the poplution

[foodope]

even less than 1 percent of 1 percent of 1 percent.

[Cheshirecatmeow1]

One percentage would be three million people.

[dennist3hmenace]

Much much less than 1%.

It's ~.000001%

[boots920]

They didn't mention that its man made. A combo of bird, swine and human flu.

[davis80smusic]

what a load of crap - they are just changing the subject from the top levels of the US government at war with each other over torture

[KendalOzzel]

"The most powerful virus is not [...] flu, it's fear."

Did I just hear that on FOX News?

[digamejh]

Yep, cat's out of the bag.

Hopefully...

[tetropods]

PANIC!!!! SWINE FLU!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PharaohNineD]

Anybody else wants some braised pork loin chops right now?

[cagedtigersteve]

This is what we get for so much pork barrel spending.

[cagedtigersteve]

PANIC!!!!!

[tustruman]

"the symptoms are flu-like". Genius.

[micahgee]

ROFL ROFL ROFL that was funny

[quitejaded]

LMAO I like the reporter at the end. Like, he is the only one who's like "Uhm, okay yah wow... 40 people in the whole country have the flu... oh shit we're dead? moving on..."

So yeah like... wtf??? A flu from MEXICO... 2 people in the state of texas have it. WTF is up with this FEAR mongering? Like, seriously?? Oh no "they're wearing MASKS" okay?? They ALWAYS wear masks in public when they are sick in Mexico and other countries too.

This panic is such BS...

[fcabido]

always use condoms when you violate live stock

[micahgee]

HAHHAAH

[BigPurple121]

40 people out of 300,000,000. I mean...

[intarwebzz]

so 86 deaths out of a city of 22M, along with 1400 cases (or hospitalizations--the facts seem hard to confirm at this point). if 36,000 people die annually from the flu in the states, that's 2640 a year in mexico city, or roughly 7 people a day... so 86 deaths is roughly 12 days worth of average flu deaths, except that such deaths likely aren't evenly distributed. so if anything, the noteworthy part of the story is that it's killed young adults....but how many? this info seems elusive.

[AshillaBeige]

Sooo... of 300+ million like less than 50 people have it... and people are flipping out. AAAAAAAAGH THAT'S SO FUCKING STUPID! Yeah, monitor it, but seriously.. what the fuck.

[freesoul2005]

Can pigs carry human flu? If not, we should put more deceased ppl in pig fliocks, just to get even

[Kythma]

Hey, Glenn Beck.... Maybe we need someplace to quarantine these people....can we say FEMA CAMP?

[nuprincenj]

lol

[intarwebzz]

LOLZ! oh man....where are the FEMA camps when you need em???

[cokmobot]

the more I hear from Shep Smith, the more I like him. the only one from fox who doesn't swallow their own snake oil

[Pleblian]

I agree

[squidb8]

I loved it TMPTV. I especially loved the edit switch between the authorities telling people not to panic and the News agencies spreading panic.

It was hilarious, I knew TV was good for something

[Tuthill99]

i'm starting to like shep smith! he's on a roll

[Nutrino2179]

The effin media sounds just as ridiculous as they did after the anthrax letters. Fear Sells.

Kudos to Rick Sanchez for not sounding like the rest of the herd.

[BlackKingX]

100 seconds and you couldn't fit in the whole airplane over New York scare?

[Skurgefaust]

biological terrorist attack in the form of a flu virus...........lawl Wed never know if it was

[Richardgwm]

Cheney blamed the flu outbreak on Obama's refusal to torture the pigs.

[postboy08]

LOL

[zndprophet]

george4title wears his mask lol

[tyrone70]

if you're really worried, just wash your hands often. the masks aren't the best idea in the world, unless you wanna walk around the streets with a gas mask on. also, don't freak out.

[WereAllApes]

So if it comes to my neighborhood, should I wear or not wear masks? Maybe I shouldn't watch the news.

[notscooter952]

I think I speak for all of us when I say... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­CAPSLOCKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHGGGG!

[PopUpPenguin]

Haha...this was great!

[MrMan428]

Did you see Fox's world map at 0:25? They blot out an entire nation for even ONE case of swine flu!

That's not an accurate representation of a pandemic.

[simplewhimsy]

I liked how the entirety of the US was red despite the fact that several states haven't gotten a single case.

But it did look pretty.

[melikeKH2]

It was a future representation of what the epidemic would look like.

Most take 180 days to disappear, and around the 90th day it reachs the pinnacle.

[bobhardball]

Foxnews asking its viewers not to panic? Change has really come to America!!!

[mw2000]

BE AFRAID! Now buy our shit.

[pisisamio7]

SHIT MAHN! EVERYBODY'S FREAKIN' OUT!!

Geeziz, a bunch of assclowns report our news.

[neotoy]

Don't fear the reaper.

[Q2IN2Y]

I hate the news.. First its don't be alarmed but then they have the big ass headlines "PANDEMIC SWINE FLU FEARS"

its all bullshit

[HugeJohn51]

Shep Smith- man he has been on fire lately!

[etait612]

He seriously has

[eljefereal]

Shepard Smith! Voice of Reason Again!

[Q2IN2Y]

Word up shep smith is the dude

[Powderfinger07]

He sure does cake on that make-up though...

[Q2IN2Y]

im talking about his common sense LOL not his make up

[taoofmichael]

Here is a story for all Republicans:

Remember the movie Easy Rider? The hicks shot Dennis Hopper off his chopper because of his LONG HAIR. (Check it out, his hair looks like a typical congressman these days.)

Now ALL THE HICKS HAVE LONG HAIR (and blond streaks, which Dennis Hopper never would have done.)

Conclusion: The hicks will eventually catch on to reality -- in 30 years, when its out of style. But they'll do it in the most faggy way possible (see Keith Urban, Billy Ray Cyrus.)

[WKaliberr]

fucking more like Fear Flu

[mikebee02]

Good old Sensible Shep at the end.

[mehtoole]

These are always so good.

[kusotarre]

I'm so glad that useless fuck isn't the surgeon general.

[asphyxiafeeling]

+1 i cannot believe sanjay was considered for the job. that guy just bothers me.

[wayne388]

Sanjay Gupta is a brave soul to go to swine flu ground zero!

[kelseywall]

I always wonder when things like this happen if it's not a "Wag the Dog" situation. Notice how much less people are talking about torture?

[taoofmichael]

You got it right on the head kelsey.

Torture memos? Prosecutions?

HHHMMMMM!

Swine flu swine flu swine flu!!!

[Audiomuse]

I live 10 minutes from the one school where some students have the swine school.

Everyone in my town is freaking out...

I think people are overreacting a little.

[pisisamio7]

Lol, swine school.

[voyeurdug]

Don't overreact. And, don't $%&# pigs.

[tunifang]

'Ground Zero"? "alert"? "masks"

why are thet scaring people?

its like the republicans and others on cnn asre hoping 4 the christian Apocalypse. other than that we havent had any deaths in America even though it is bad that here has been deaths elsewhere. that is bad to say "at least not here" but people still died.

think about your human morals America.

[zndprophet]

Shep Smith is the only rational guy on the news lately.

[truescorpio14]

Yeah lets hope he sets a precedent

[wilkens411]

man i was thinking the same even though is in fox WHO CARES the past days ive been watching this guy say some good stuff

[sachaput]

The 24/7 news cycle needs something and the torture memos are old news by now.

[09younsea]

haha the last part was good "40 people have the flu so u have to be careful"

[benjykenjy]

they don't want to over react ? they should go to mexico where the same virus had killed almost 200 people in less than a week in a range from 20-39 year olds that are dead

[Username2322]

dont freak out, dont freak out, dont freak....oh god, Im FREAKING OUT MAN

[Losdiaz666]

Have some Weed :D

[MooseOfReason]

But you'd have to take your mask off to have the weed! AAH!

[snipzor]

Ouch, take that Gupta.

[MooseOfReason]

Almost Surgeon General.

Think about that.

[buffalosouljah18]

There's always some drama every week.

[1019drummer]

charelton heston.....the omega man...............im selling the cure.

[LarryKoopaRoy]

"We sure do not want to overreact"

But you are.
