Here's a smarter way to treat the swine-flu story - WGN, Chicago's "Flu Mask Fashion Show."

Do you think that will attract more than a few curious people to WGN radio's street-level studio this morning, to see fill-in host Randy Miller interview people about how they chose to decorate their personal swine-flu masks? Great stuff, and it cost virtually nothing. The contest prize is a trip for two to Cancun, Mexico - no doubt already traded out. You sense the promotional mind of somebody like WGN program director Kevin Metheny at work. All it took was imagination and the desire to do something creative with this week's biggest story. I'm betting they'll post some pictures of the flu masks at the WGN website.
