After the first case of swine flu was confirmed in Israel, the Deputy Health Minister, a member of the ultra-religious United Torah Judaism party, announced that they would use the term "Mexican flu" so they could avoid speaking the word "swine".
Apparently, they can't keep kosher if they say "swine", or their delicate sensibilities would be offended?
Why the hell did God create pigs if they're so obnoxious to Jews?
