Life Is Just Ebola Cherries

See what I did?

Ha ha.

I've been around long enough to know that "sick" comedy is "good" for you. We need a release valve. Making bad jokes about murders and disasters can be healthy. Maybe.

Then again, there are MEMES. You know this art form. Pinheads go to a Meme Generator site, find a photo, and throw a wise-ass caption on it. Ha ha ha.

I say...leave comedy to the professionals.

Here are two MEMES going around. Meet me below, and let me mention two NAMES.

Hello again.

The two names are ARTHUR ASHE, the tennis legend, and ISAAC ASIMOV, the sci-fi author.

The point of the two memes is to trivialize a plague. You probably won't get ebola, a talking dog is telling you. So why quarantine monkey morons and make them stay in Liberia?

And the Taylor Swift funnn-eeee. Sure, Taylor's had a lotta boyfriends. You wanna be one of the people treated by a nurse who was just diagnosed with ebola?

Back to Mr. Ashe and Mr. Asimov.

Their lives were cut short because they had operations...and received blood tainted with AIDS.

We don't know all that much about ebola, or how it might mutate, or what could trigger an epidemic. We didn't know much about AIDS when "a few" people started getting sick...including a friend of mine who eventually died.

WHAT is so fucking FUNNY about being cautious? About prohibiting planes from Liberia circulating tainted air from landing at our airports?

I don't find ignorance funny. When AIDS began I heard "What's the fuss? Only a few people have died. Wake me when it gets serious, dude." Yeah? Maybe you won't wake up because YOU got infected through a tainted needle, a bad dentist, a transfusion involving improperly tested blood.

As the dead Joan Rivers reminds us...shit happens. When one of the most expensive clinics in the world can botch anesthesia and MURDER SOMEONE...are you really scoffing that ebola hasn't KILLED ENOUGH PEOPLE YET? Your answer is to lower security rather than increase it?

Take off the condom...your sex partner hasn't shown signs of an STD yet.

Ha ha ha, speed at 80 mph down the highway...you haven't gotten into a car accident yet.

Throw your garbage out in the street...you haven't seen enough rats yet.

As much as I despise MIMES...at least they shut the fuck up, and you can't say that about the jerks who make MEMES.
