KANSAS CITY CORONAVIRUS CHECK!!!



With respect to an iconic heatlh-related and educational view of hottie Denise encoruaging the wellness of her fans . . . Several times throughout the day we examine all things related to pop culture and lately we've noticed a great deal of anti-pr0n sentiment. Many regard the rise of pr0n as a sickness that needs to be wiped out even as a whole new generation boosts the industry. Even more curiously, advances in tech promise a future wherein real people don't have to suffer the hardships of the pr0n game. And all of this sticky human drama brings us to a very real sickenss spreading across the globe and raising concern in Kansas City.

As usual, our snark and headlines will always be exceptionally silly, fun and hopefully entertaining as we direct our readers to these much more serious news items:

  1. Wash your hands. After that, maybe say a little prayer and wait a beat before you start panicking.

  3. Just be careful till we see what this thing is or isn't going to do. I honestly don't think anyone really has a clue for sure. Many make a joke about it like they did the AIDS issues in late 80's. This shit will kill you deader than hell just like AIDS could.

  6. 7:14: Trump knows. He said all was well and "mission accomplished." Just like George W.

    Isn't this pretty close to the 100th anniversary of the last flu pandemic?

  8. Funny thing, Switzerland and several NATO Military forces (Dutch, French, Danish, Swedish) have done extensive testing of Respirator/Gas Mask usage by troops with facial hair. and have found absolutely no effect on the efficiency of these masks from any mustaches or up to medium-length (2-3 inch) beards.

    Sounds like somebody at the CDC has been infected with the US Military's aversion to facial hair.

  9. Trump said he didn't know a lot of people die from the flu annually. He hopes and thinks spreading of coronavirus is not inevitable here. Firing health staff last year wasn't a big deal since he can just move people around now to replace them. He said things are getting better in China now and their leader has done a great job. He made fun of Nancy and Chuck for proposing more money than the White House requested. And he thinks the stock market dropped just as much because of the Democratic debate, not the virus.

    In other words, a complete idiot is leading the government response.

    1. No actually it's Reverend Pence in charge of thoughts and prayers. We're safe from the virus lifestyle.

  10. Oh praise the Lord highly competent Pence is on charge! If Corona virus turns out to be gay we'll be safe.

  11. They see a conspiracy because one of their demigod's, Rush Limbaugh, has been pushing it to the cult. These are people for whom facts, evidence, science, and logic means nothing. There is no difference between Republicans and Scientologists, only which con man they believe in and follow fervently. Don't you worry though, Mike Pence is in charge. He's going to pray the virus away,you know Mike, he's thenguy who believes smoking doesn't cause cancer and condoms don't help prevent STD's. Perfect guy for the rubes.

  17. The unstoppable force of Trump's base spewing conspiracies about the Chinese, weaponized bio-agents, and dirty sick immigrants & the need for border closings now meets the unmovable object of the stable genius Trump himself leading a perfect response that has everything under control, everyone is getting better, and asserting there is no real threat & nothing to worry about.

    This should be good.

    BTW, how's everyone 401Ks??? Hint, down for the year and still dropping.

  18. Sure, lets put the guy that believes in literal biblical plagues and the looming End Times in charge of the coordinated response to combat a deadly global virus.

    While a belief in science, funding for health preparedness and actual experts are in short supply at this White House - irony certainly is not.

  19. Welcome to 2020, trumptards already out with their conspiracies related to the latest global issue.

    We live in an idiocracy.
