First of all, I thought we all agreed to call it "H1N1" or the "Swine Flu" and NOT the "Mexican Flu." Jeeze, no need to point fingers. Obvious racism aside, Belgian telecommunications company
Telenet has suggested a way to shake hands in which we can still greet each other, but without actually making human contact: the airshake.
"...we desperately need a new way of greeting each other, since greeting is the cornerstone of our social and political life. It's a sign of mutual respect, friendship and equality. As of today we propose to replace the firm handshake by an airshake, that's a handshake without touching one another. So concerned are they, they even created a short video demonstration with Jarabe Tapatio--aka the Mexican Hat Dance--as the soundtrack."
That's right, they used the
Mexican Hat Dance. Are all Belgians this racist? Because I
will boycott their waffles.
