Who Do You Like Better: Motley Flu or Snortishead?
While it’ll probably be no laughing matter when the swine flu circulates and mutates and comes back later this year, wiping us all out like the plague, for now the usually boring-as-shit Paste magazine agrees with our theory that one must laugh in the face of swine flu (or at least the ridiculous media-driven hysteria surrounding swine flu) by coming up with a pretty funny list of fictional bands and artists inspired by the swine flu. Among them:
