Flu Shots and such

I received a flu shot today. My firm offers them for free, every fall. I know that they are somewhat controversial. I have heard all kinds of bad things about them by flu shot opponents. Here is some particularly spicy propaganda from a flu shot opponent who is a self proclaimed “Crusader for health.” I can’t really say if they work or not, from personal experience. Although I have not ever had any negative side effects from one (that I know of). Here is what the Center for Disease Control and Prevention has to say about them. I have to say that I am a little more inclined to trust the latter. I hope that it does work, because I hate being sick.

On a totally unrelated note, I was totally punked by GQ this morning on my way to work. I received the latest issue a couple of days ago. It’s the one with Jimmy Kimmel on the cover. I should have known that this would be a crap issue. I hate Jimmy Kimmel. I consider anyone that was associated with the “Man Show” to be a bit low brow. Plus you have to be kind of a freak to want to date Sarah Silverman. Anyway, I was reading through the magazine on the train. As I turned one of the pages, I discovered that there was a picture of boobs in this issue. What? I hurried and flipped the page, but not before the two ladies sitting on either side of me had also seen the boobs. How embarrassing. In their heads they were probably like, “what kind of perv brings a smut magazine to read on the train?” So, thanks a lot GQ, for making me look like some sort of unchecked nymphomaniac who has to bring adult magazines on the morning commute. I’m sure that Jim Nelson has probably already received a huge stack of letters about this issue. I plan to add mine to the stack.
