I agree with this. I guess you will also see a slur of bad taste iPhone apps about the swine flu. Some people would do anything to make a buck/get attention.
That's true, but as I said in another thread, the entrepreneur in me wants to seize every opportunity. :P
Interestingly, I couldn't believe the number of swine flu merchandise sites that have popped up already with http://flushirts.spreadshirt.com/ apparently leading the way.
To the drawing board, I guess.

Hmmm... a larger version of the most annoying kind of flash ad on the web. I want those 15 seconds of my life back.
In case "viral" and some CNN buzzwords weren't giveaways :).
I think it's catering to the masses not the typical HN crowd, but it appears to be an experiment, which is kinda fun.
I'm more interested in the results than the game itself.

I just finished my app...
Swine Flu, for those who care to waste time infecting others instead of fighting this glorious disease.

Yep I actually think it's pretty amusing. And I'm not a massive game-player.
I don't know who was spamming my gmail with links to this game, but please don't do this in the future. kthanks.
lol effin yea this is awesome
It was only a matter of time before this happened! Congrats.
1. It's a bad game both in terms of graphics and gameplay, though I recognize I can't expect much better so soon
2. It's inaccurate; swine are not the enemy
3. It's arguably in bad taste
