Mexicans laugh at themselves and fight swine flu

New Delhi: Mexico is the worst hit by the swine flu with a total 16 deaths but that hasn't dented their sense of humour at all.

A song called the Influenza Cumbia is climbing the charts.

Cringe-worthy swine flu jokes are spreading faster than the illness, it seems.

The surgical masks have been painted with sporting monkey mouths, outsized mustaches or "kissy lips." While the country fights the Influenza A H1N1 virus menace, the people are trying to keep the spirits up.
