Europe Removes Nuclear Power Plant Themes From 'The Simpsons' - Starpulse.com It's a little bit of ironic, since one of the longest running gags of the 21-year old cartoon-sitcom is Homer Simpson's colossal ineptitude as the Springfield Nuclear Plant security technician. This already took its toll: Frank Grimes went insane because of it, and quickly found his death inside the plant.
Fortunately, this has anything to do with the leitmotiv... er, main motivation of this blog, nor its main source of inspiration (hahahahHAHAHA! ¡sip has so much good taste!). But if Dr. sipmac were living nearby a nuclear plant in Europe, he could feel the fear, too. (A mineshaft could be handy, BTW). In the meanswhile, a sip... er, a "Simpsons'" joke could be extremely unsensitive ("Do not mention the rope at the house of the hangman").
Since his involvement in that documentary, he knows for sure that, if there's is going to be a cataclismic accident, it's going to be caused by plain tomfoolery, not evil nor greed. However... HOWEVER, it is being said that the true origin of all the Fukushima disaster was the concealed lack of manteinance in the plants. To keep the books in the black, some dark maneuvers like employees' lay-offs and embezzelment of manteninance reports were done. And it was already known in Japan before the quake. Meanness and greed have a role to play, after all.
It makes you think. A lot.

I hate these days. People are telling you to STFU. Just say it, no matter how stupid or offensive it is.
