Is ABC trying to freak out their audience? I just saw a preview for their May Sweeps flick Fatal Contact: Bird Flu In America. Jeez, people shaking hands and getting sick, millions dead, the military called in, the President making a dire annoucement. Sure, it's all possible, but I just get this sick feeling that ABC is trying to scare us. Avian Flu plus May Sweeps = ratings gold!I just hope the movie is a little bit more responsible than what I've seen in the previews. I mean, what about the kids watching? What about the health care professionals? And for God's sake, What About Brian?

And every other commercial during the movie will be advertising THIS.
(in case the link doesn't make it, it's a picture of the largest roll of duct tape in the world!)

My wife works in a pharmacy and she is just bracing for the onslaught of people coming in who think they are sick because of this campy crap.
And why oh why do we have a Nip/Tuck-ian in this schlock?

These scare tactics is insane. I will not watch the United 93 Movie or this piece of crap to scare and depress us even more!
I watch only what is entertaining..I get to see and hear all the sadness and shocking events of the day I want on the National News! Yes, make sure your children are right in front of the set on this one...scheduled their shrink appoinment! I think the entertainment industry has lost their minds!
