Elmo and swine flu

by Extra.Credit

“Sneeze into your arm with Elmo!” That is the directive (along with not touching eyes, mouths and noses, “Elmo’s not touching!”) in a new public service announcement regarding swine flu. That ad has a light touch for kids, but on this site you can also find some heavier commercials, urging hygiene and vigilance. One ends with a somber note: “The flu, it’s a lot worse than it sounds.” http://www.stumbleupon.com/s/#2JVDnJ/www.npr.org/blogs/health/2009/09/elmo_arrives_for_swine_flu.html?ft=1&f=103537970/
