Swine errr "Mexican" flu
The swine flu is rapidly becoming a world-wide problem. Most countries are dealing with the specific dangers of illness, and in some cases, death. Other countries have other aspects of the flu to deal with.
"We will use the term 'Mexican flu' in order not to have to pronounce the word 'swine,'" declared Deputy Health Minister Yakov Litzman of the United Torah Judaism party.
Yes, better to attach the name to a country or ethnic group than call it what it is!

Yeah, I wonder how they would feel if it was called Israeli flu. It's been called Swine Flu since 1918.
A rose by any other name is still a rose.
