    Wow. Wow, really? There are actually people that dumb?

  2. Essayons says:

    I guess he meant he’s never heard of abbreviations.

  3. Flu and influenza are two completely different things, you idiot. :P

  4. Hazel Brown says:

    Essayons…he’s heard of the abbreviations, he just had no idea that it came from inFLUenza. He’s a dork!

  5. cpt awesome says:

    what a genius. hospital because of a flu :P
    omg he’s going to die!!!1

    • Notanidiot says:

      Ummm….really? Do you know how many people ‘regular’ flu kills every year?

    • jzimbert says:

      You know that people die every year from the flu, right? Not even something special like swine flu, but the regular, generic flu?

      • Beth says:

        Actually, it’s kind of hard to tell. The CDC lumps flu deaths in with pneumonia deaths.

        From the CDC: Each week, the vital statistics offices of 122 cities report the total number of death certificates received and the number of those for which pneumonia or influenza was listed as the underlying or contributing cause of death by age group.

          and generally, we don’t catch the Epidemics until they are about to end. We really don’t know how many people were killed by the H1N1 virus. However, going to the hospital to be treated for the flu can be, and is, laughable in some cases. You treat all flu strains the same way. Going to the hospital will pretty much only tell you that a) you have it and b) need to keep hydrated.

    • Hope says:

      He’s going to the hospital to get checked for H1N1. Not to be admitted.

  6. RstdGruett says:

    Too bad there is no vaccine for stupidity.

  7. pway says:

    Anytime that ANYONE sez “I’m not an idiot”, they are always wrong…

  8. Monika says:

    Please tell me he isn’t breeding.

  9. Mandi says:

    How can anyone be so stupid? The word FLU is in inFLUenza, and he still doesn’t get it? No, no you aren’t an idiot, you are a fucking imbecile.

  10. smiley says:

    FACEPALM!!!

  11. LouZha says:

    Idiot can be forgiven for not knowing that the flu & influenza are the same thing. For not googling the question when they so obviously online, they truly deserve the ‘IDIOT’ moniker.

  12. Igetstabby says:

    Poor guy, growing up in a world that learns the shortened version before the whole word.

  13. Orlando says:

    Haha, flu, influzena…..

  14. Jesse says:

    How fucking dumb are you?

  15. Langalot says:

    I hate people.

  16. Duckman says:

    I don’t know who fails more, the person who doesn’t know what influenza is, or the person who goes to hospital for it. THAT is the reason our insurance premiums are skyrocketing

  17. FTW says:

    hahaha, this is funny, but i really dont know who to blame here… the guy who doesnt know that flu is inFLUenza… or the person who went to the hospital…
    its a FAIL on both sides in my opinion

  18. that one guy says:

    i didnt get this one, so…hmm
    ya i dont get this one at all

  19. YYC says:

    I have to call foul on the OP, as well … “‘Flu’ and ‘Swine Flu’ i have one or the other.” If he had swine flu, he would still have a form of the flu. Not really a “one or the other” situation. :P

  20. Rrika says:

    Some people should google check seven times before talking.

  21. Jenny Mason says:

    You know, only about 4 comments were worth reading. Y’all need some lives. Seriously.

  22. Actually, Influenza is what we call the swine flue in Spanish.^^

  23. Moa says:

    quite funny reading this when you live in a country where you call influenza “influensa”…

  24. gall says:

    I opened the window, and in flew Enza!

  25. Edda says:

    It wasn’t all that stupid, because the flu is called “Influensa” in Norwegian. It is a real word, even though it is not commonly used.
    Fail’s on you.

    • MegaNerd18 says:

      Um…. wow. Fail’s on you actually. Influenza is the scientific term for the disease which is commonly simply called ‘the flu’. The fail isn’t that Influenza’s a made up word, the fail is that ‘Joe’ didn’t know that Influenza was the full term for ‘the flu’.

  26. ncsuandrew12 says:

    “Are You Sure You Aren’t An Idiot?”

    Yes he is. But he’s also sure that he IS a dolt.
