They didnt go too far, but with hundreds of people dying from it, they should really think of removing it.

Swine Flu was in the game before the real swine flu

And who is it going to offend? The less than 500 people that have it? Get over it it's the freaking flu and everyone gets it.
Yea about that. You know in 1918 millions died from this same disease? amazing what one can figure out by using a search engine, you should try it!

And in the 1970s, no one did (they died from the vaccination). Search engines cut both ways.

You'd also know this was 90 years later if you used that same search engine.

Hundreds of people are not dying from Swine Flu, more people die from the average Flu, the only reason Swine flu is bad in Mexico is because is of the poor health of her people and the lack of health care available for those unable to afford it, which is alot

it's good they put that, they should also put nuclear holocaust .. i fucking hate wow
Swine Flu and a nuclear holocaust are two drastically different things. Do you have an issue with Fallout 3 because of that? Do you have an issue with movies that deal with the idea of a nuclear holocaust?

Nuclear holocaust: man made, absolute disaster, probably will end the world if it ever happened.

Swine Flu: a naturally occuring disease that nowadays is nothing more than a slightly-more-dangerous flu. In case you didn't notice, no one is worried about it anymore.

So, you fucking hate WoW? Fine. I fucking hate trolls that pull things out of their asses to try and make something look bad.

If they had just added it after it started spreading and killing people then yes, but I don't see a reason to claim otherwise.

dude .. i was just saying that swine flu is not enough, they should make a nuclear holocaust.. they have nothing to do with each other, i am saying that they should kill everyone.. and you are apparently very irritated about this, probably another fat american
First off, you made it seem like you were blowing the Swine Flu thing way out of porportion. I misread it, and I apologize.

Second, just because you don't like a game doesn't mean that they should end the game.

Third, another fat American? Really? Get out of here, you fucking biggot. We don't need people like you throwing out insults like that. Reported.

i never noticed it in the game before but then again i played a priest, i see no reason for them to remove it, i think more people die from spider bites, scorpion stings, suicide by trowing the self of an cliff and drinking but it would be a pretty empty game if they removed any thing that resemble reel life problems

I explained why I called you a troll, and even apologized.

But it doesn't change the fact that you are a bigot. You hate people simply because of where they're from. That is bigotry, that is wrong, and it makes it so I no longer need to apologize for calling you a troll, because you are one.

Grow up and learn the fact that where someone is from doesn't completely determine what they're like. Yes, I'm American. Most American's I've met aren't fat. And a lot of them are good people.

You are a troll and a bigot, and until I see evidence otherwise, my view stands. Good day, sir.

says the man proud of his people that hate everyone else because they are "terrorists" when actually their own government is the one that made all the "terrorist" attacks on his own people so they could do the stuff they do now and are incredibly stupid,indoctrinated,corrupt,ignorant... i'm not saying all of them are like this, but most of them match this pattern perfectly, especially the ones from the south

Take your narrow-minded ill-informed views and [blow them out your arse] go elsewhere with them, this is thread derailment of the highest order.


To throw in my two cents, no Blizzard have not gone too far, in fact this occurence of swine flu seems totally innocuous.

Now, if they had an NPC called Mexx E. Khan that was infected then maybe we'd have a problem

Get educated, you moron. Yes, some Americans do think that way (and I will agree with you, I hate those that do think that way), but most do not.

And you think that we attacked our own people? That whole conspiracy theory ended years ago. It's a load of bull.

Plus, have you ever even been to America? Interacted with it's people? Have you ever actually met anyone that acts in the pattern you think most match perfectly? I highly doubt it.

One final thing, I'd like to apologize to the creator of this thread. We've taken this into a wild tangent, and I will no longer reply to what he has to say. There's no reaching people like that. I'll only comment on the subject of the thread further if I feel the need to.

That is hilarious! I love that they took an overreaction and stuck it in a game! They are to be applauded.

It's funny, because 5000 people are killed every week worldwide by seasonal flu. So far there have been 15 confirmed deaths caused by swine flu, and 101 suspected deaths by swine flu. AIDS kills 38500 people every week. Spanish Flu killed 50 million people in 1919. This whole thing has been blown out of proportion.

Not really relevant to this particular discussion, but an interesting fact.

Enough of that particular tangent though, I don't see why this would cause any offence.

EDIT:

Actually, one of the first swine flu outbreaks was in 1918, I think.
I think that's a different strain of flu you're thinking of there - The Spanish Flu. I could be wrong though.

Another fun fact: There hasn't been a single pig that's tested positive for this strain of flu. There's hardly any evidence to suggest that it came from pigs.
Correct me if Im wrong, but isn't this a mutation of that flu?
