With the fall right around the corner, its time to prepare for the coming swine flu apocalypse that the media is saying will undoubtedly occur. To help the male population that will have to repopulate the earth after the mass chaos subsides, we here at COED have prepared a guide to help you survive the new plague. (more…)
Early Thursday morning, Google News shutdown for hours before coming back online with a new feature – little YouTube thumbnails next to news stories. When clicked, users were taken to YouTube news videos. Cool, I guess. But it seems as though these changes caused a worldwide Google sh!tstorm never before seen – Google search wouldn’t load, nor YouTube, nor any Site running Google ads. Basically, half the damn Internet was down for the count. It’s like their servers caught the Google flu.
Needless to say, we started freaking out – along with everybody else. It was so bad, we even used Yahoo search for the first time in years. And while the outages only lasted a little more than an hour, it made us realize exactly how totally and completely f**ked everything would be if Google really went down for any significant amount of time. Kinda makes that whole ‘Internet monopoly’ investigation seem a bit more important, wouldn’t you say?
Following the Swine flu epidemic on TV is pretty intense. Way better than Bird Flu, and a contender with the economic recession. Today, I saw a couple people on the New York City streets sporting surgical masks. If this trend continues soon New York is going to look like Mexico. I didn’t want to be left out.
It took me an hour and seven pharmacies to locate a surgical mask. Every single store was sold out. The only reason I obtained one was because a pharmacist gracious gave one of hers. It wasn’t really until then I realized the severity of the Swine Flu. Or, at least, the portrayed severity, seeing as how this outbreak is quite similar to a regular flu season. But still, I rushed home to try on my new contraption, which looks much like a 1930s maxipad. (more…)
This swine flu thing is getting out of hand. Despite the fact that it’s really not that bad, the 24-hour news channels are all freaking out like a death cloud of killer pig-bees are swarming toward them. That’s here in the US. But overseas, things are getting even crazier. According to our friends in the Netherlands, booking agencies are considering canceling all summer festivals for fear of helping to spread this “pandemic.”
Due to increase of chances on the outbreak of swineflu in the Netherlands, festivals may be cancelled. The company can’t afford to take chances of putting employees, artists and visitors of the festivals at risk of this quick spreading disease.
Festivals included can be well-known Pinkpop, Parkpop and Campingflight to Lowlands Paradise, as well as other smaller ones.
