Oh NO They DIDN'T!
From an article on CNN.com
It's supposed to be one of the most popular days in the Mexican calendar.
But with Mexico City a ghost town, and schools across the country closed until at least Thursday to prevent the spread of the H1N1 virus, the government has called off Cinco de Mayo celebrations nationwide.
I'm so incredulous I can hardly type.
First of all, most people in Mexico don't even celebrate Cinco de Mayo! From Wikipedia: Cinco de Mayo is a regional holiday in Mexico, primarily celebrated in the state of Puebla, with some limited recognition in other parts of Mexico. I have many friends who are Mexicans, they poke fun at us here in the states for making a big deal out of the "holiday".
My contempt for the media and their treatment of this whole H1N1 situation is not a secret. All along they've been inflating the story to the point of alarm. Now they're just making things up.
Be careful about who you choose to believe!
