Whole lotta scare quotes going on, coupled with a total dearth of related facts or causative links.
If I want that, I can go to globull warming sites.
The main difference between calling all that the results of Fukushima radioactive material, and a surplus of paranormal kinetic energy valences, is that Harold Ramis was a much funnier writer for Ghostbusters.

Actual science probably gets in the way of a good anti-nuclear narrative though. :roll:

I have to agree. That site isn't much better than the National Enquirer in terms of actual content. But they write very scary headlines.

I've heard that Fukushima wastewater is used in autism-causing vaccines...

60K tons of Uranium is mined every year world wide. It is all radioactive. The horror, who buried all of that radioactive material in the first place. It is some kind of scary conspiracy or something.

And it's making endangered species impotent.

You know that's what took out the passenger pigeon.
I read it on the internet so it must be true, they wouldn't let it on there otherwise.

The average person will get more rad exposure from eating bananas over the course of year than they will get their entire lives from Fuckitshima. Never mind what we all get from solar and normal background sources. This is just typical, ignorant, OMFG!!! radiation! alarmism.

But I saw a girl at the mall with blue hair, and just yesterday, there was an AMC Pacer sighted still on the roads.

Next thing you know, Pauly Shore will be making a comeback.

It's radiation from Japan, clearly.

If Pauly Shore makes a comeback and for whatever reason Japan is in some way responsible, under the terms of the Geneva convention the United States is not only allowed but required to glass the whole of Japan.

Don't be silly.
Just pack him into the containment trench at Fukushima.

If he survives that, he's clearly not a witch, and should be set at liberty.
