“Nuclear Boy” explains nuclear crisis to kids in Japan [video]
Japanese media artist Kazuhiko Hachiya created a kid-friendly animated short to help explain the brewing nuclear crisis to children. The clip’s title character, Nuclear Boy, plays the role of the troubled (and plagued with intestinal issues) Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant. According the The Daily What, the cartoon has aired on national television in Japan.
Reaction to the colorful clip has been mixed, with some folks calling it distasteful and others arguing it makes the situation more comprehensible for worried young children. What do you think?
