Ebola-chan

I must say how amusing I find this whole Ebola-chan thing...

Everyone has seen those movies about a zombie apocalypse or global virus, right? It always starts with these smaller occurrences on the news and, after a couple of timeskips, with increasingly numbers at the news, we have mayhem and the apocalyptic bit of it begins.

But in their efforts to look realistic, movies overlooked real life and how people are capable of being unpredictable.
What movie could possibly picture people anthropomorphizing a virus and making it a cute girl? What movie took in account the Internet wildfire of doom?

I've seen some people say "I hope your family gets Ebola for joking about something so serious, poopface!". Guess what, non-poopface! If my family gets Ebola, there will be a new focus of disease spreading through the globe. Don't you go joking about something so serious.

All in all, it's just a character, like the Grim Reaper. If the End of the World was to actually happen - as TV for some reason tries so hard to believe -, I'd prefer to go laughing. Cursed and blessed be the one who came up with this girl...
