"Nuclear Boy" Explains Fukushima Disaster to Japanese Children
— rdbrewer

You see, a nuclear plant in trouble is like a boy with digestive problems.

Press the red caption balloon icon in the lower bar to get rid of the caption.

I guess poo is more out in the open in Japan. Nuclear Boy helps me to better understand Poo Genie, a video I saw a few months ago. (Content Warning: Poo Genie depicts total nuclear meltdown in various scenarios.) It's a Japanese thing.

3 Some Asian cultures seem to have an... unusual relationship to poo. This is not a joke... my SIL has been there. http://www.moderntoilet.com.tw

12 Hey, I found the video informative. And I liked that the narrator thanked nuclear boy near the end for all the power "he" has provided for the Japanese all of these years.

13 I wonder how many Japanese children are going to see this and be afraid to take a shit?

24 18 There was no earthquake or tsunami at Chernobyl boy.

Which underscores the superiority of Japanese-run nuclear power plants vs the Soviet-run ones. The video should have empathized that, but this video is for kids and they might not have understood that.

For some reason, that made me think of the three monkeys: Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil.

I know, it has nothing whatsoever to do with it, but that's where my brain went.

62 I wonder if California took into account the 1806/1861 flood levels when they sited their nukes (and everything else), and do we have a cute CGI character to animate our terrible accidents?

71 Speaking of poo, I was watching a doc on Vikings where they excavated some real dark ages Viking poo. It was HUGE. There were whole unchewed nuts in it. Maybe, old Olaf had no teeth. Anyway, it was the largest dookie I have ever seen. It should be in a museum. Wait, it is! Museum quality number 2. What will they think of next?

74 Nuclear Boy, recent talk of pills (iodide), Steven Chu?

Never fully understood their hard to find lyrics but they went something like:

"When I woke up on the 714 I shut my window on the air so mean
If I take enough pills, I'll be tough as the world today
But it's an uphill life I wouldn't think nothing about dying tonight
I'm a nuclear boy and I live in a nuclear world

So don't worry about me I don't worry 'bout Chu
If you look at the facts there not much you can do
don't care about truth don't want a steady girl
I'm a nuclear boy in a nuclear world.

The band is "20/20" and the song is 30 years old but this is from a recent concert. Oh and a 714 is about taking quaaludes. Just thought I'd see if any remember their early stuff.
