WARNING: Twitter Will Kill You With Swine Flu

APORKALYPSE NOW!

What is Twitter? I don't know from personal experience, but I've heard that it is something on the Internet where people post random things and then make random comments about other people's random things. And then they all pleasure each other anally. Apparently, since the "outbreak" of "Swine Flu" (otherwise known as BACON LUNG), people have been just cold freakin' out on Twitter about it and randomly stringing together words that may or may not form complete sentences. The result is a lot of misinformation about Swine Flu emanating from Twitter, not unlike the stink lines that come out of poop in cartoons. So basically, if you get Swine Flu, it's because Twitter, the end. This is certainly not a feather in the cap of the Internet's darling micro-blogging site. It is, however, a feather in the cap of this macro-blog, because - ummmm - Twitter is stupid?

i <3 CNN articles about misinformation. No mention of the fact that CNN LOVES TWEETZ!! And has regular programming devoted to letting the listening public tweeter them silly. Just yesterday one of those scary daytime news ladies asked watchers to twitter their most influential person of the year, then immediately following she berated her audience for failing to nominate Twitter itself as a candidate (which it is, and was listed in the 100 Most Influential People issue of TIME, possibly the most arbitrary annual list ever created.)
