Because Haiti just had an earthquake?
This reminds me
After 9/11, there was a bioweapon scare and people were going crazy taping off their windows and doors

Remember hearing about someone suffocating themselves by accident
The whole thing was ridiculous
Absolut did an ad about it with a window taped off with plastic sheeting in the shape of their bottle
Reminds me of what's going on now
