CDC releases Killer Plague 3:
Death from above, Bird Flu

The US CDC (Center for Disease Control) yesterday released the much awaited episode of it’s KILLER PLAGUE trilogy entitled “Episode 3: Death from above”.
Following the success of “Ebola: Death from Africa” and “SARS: Death in Shanghai” “Bird Flu: Death from above” will thrill viewers with terrifying predictions of a plague wrought on the human race by birds and Kentucky fried chicken.

The press release announces that the latest release which will include a feature length re-make of Alfred Hitchcoock’s “The Birds”, government leaflet drops and full page newspaper ads “Featuring mind blowing three dimensional projections overlaid with computer generated images of people dying in the streets of New York clutching half eaten chicken wings.”

Critics say that the CDC’s latest release will only unnecessarily increase anxiety levels by raising awareness of a disease that has caused fewer than twenty victims and which most people in the West have less chance of catching than of having a spontaneous orgasm whilst eating a Big Mac, but the analysts point out that the strategy of pointlessly scaring American citizens has not only been incredibly successful in generating tax dollars for the CDC, but is entirely in line with the Bush Administration’s strategy of maintaining a constant state of terror within the US population.
