Flu protection, Japan style

As if the threat of a swine flu pandemic wasn't enough, you can now buy a surgical mask which will scare the living daylights out of anyone who catches sight of you.

The Japanese masks by Yoriko Yoshida are available with a freaky smiling human face or something that looks remarkably like one of the very pigs that could have started the whole thing off over in mexico.

Which brings us to another suggestion - why not simply slip a mexican wrestling mask over your surgical mask and do your bit for society by giving a coronary to passersby with a weak disposition? Let's face it, if you hadn't got them the fever would, so you'll be doing them a favour.
