Super bugs announced again on slow news day

HEY!  What should we do on a

SLOW NEWS DAY?

Stronger than an antibiotic, more powerful than a speeding Buick, able to spread germs with a single bound. It's ...

Look, over there on the potato salad, 

it's Super Fly Boy.

Every couple of months, they come up with another "Super Bug" story.  Today's story was about how terribly difficult it is to predict an outbreak of superbug stuff. CLICK HERE TO SEE THIS STORY on YOUTUBE.

Even before the rash of bed bug stories, there were Super Bug stories.  It's a science fiction narrative that's been written many times, diseases with no cure, viruses that have become immune to antibiotics, threatening the existence of mankind.  Oh my!  I believe the first one I was aware of was called, "The Andromeda Strain."

I guess it's a story, but it's not exactly new news.  It's more like recycled news or reconfigured journalistic leftovers.  

So, why am I talking about it?  I jumped into this non-news news story just for the purpose of proposing a spokes-bug for the Super Bug news -- Super Fly Boy!  He's buff.  He's hairy.  He has no social media or SEO staff.  He gargles with penicillin every morning ... it's Super Fly Boy! 

The news media has to sell newspapers.  I think the birthday of the Occupy movement didn't pan out news-wise as big as it was supposed to ... so they had to come up with some news.  Occupy fizzled ... 100 protesters versus 300 riot police is not news.   Hmmm, how about some SUPER BUG news.  

What's a super bug?  It's not a bug at all.  It's more like a disease that has become stronger, and immune to antibiotics, which then makes the bugs "super."  At least to the guy who writes the headlines on a slow news day. 

Any day that the Associated Press does a video on super bugs is probably a slow news day.  Nobody would trot out a "super bug" story if REAL news was happening.  But what if diseases were rampantly spreading across the Earth with no cure in sight ... most of us wouldn't believe it.  The news media has cried wolf on this one way too many times.
