So we've had Ebola memes, Ebola merchandiseand now comes another somewhat inappropriate Ebola iteration - a "hilarious" prank where a dad tells his son that he's got the disease. His son who's, like, 7.

Now whilst we're all for parents pranking kids when it comes to telling them you've already eaten their Halloween candy(because, really, when we're a parent we'll probably actually behave like this IRL not just as a joke), doesn't it seem a touch inappropriate to swab your son's mouth, tell him he's got a temperature and convince him he might be dying? If only for the kid-style meltdown you're going to have to deal with afterwards...

Still, props to the kid for knowing enough about Ebola to know he should be scared. And to be fair, his response seems an appropriate one for anyone who thinks they're suddenly about to die.
