When the leaflets about Swine Flu were published last month I happened to make a 'joke' to people about parents organising 'Swine Flu Parties'. Of course I was only joking and didn't think anybody would be so stupid as to actually do it.

So who would do this ? I'm guessing the sort of people who don't get kids vaccinated, ignoring the social responsibility aspects of it.
I do find it interesting how society deals with these sorts of things and how people capitalise on it. During my last US trip I happened to spot the following slogan on a bottle of hand wipes:
Interesting how companies can change packaging quickly to target consumers...
