Ales Bask Hostomsky's "swine flu" pokes fun at H1N1 or whats often called swine flu. Bask uses the pig (more known as piglet from children story winnie the pooh) to aim this at people aged eighteen to mid thirty's, mostly because that the 25's and above group is going through nostalgia where the 24 and below group think its cool and retro. you could also say that this is a call to inappropriate authority if this were hung in a public area where children play. the you "pig make me sick." it also pinpoints an enemy, being how pigs (and people exposed to pigs) are the cause of this. The use of warm colors on a pink background gives the viewer a feeling of hot or fever, and that is one of the symptoms of H1N1.
added note about H1N1 from 1976
