Turning Japanese - no, wait...that's just the fallout...my bad

This whole "Japan nuclear crisis" thing is getting out of hand with the fear-mongering.
I have read several articles on the subject, and it seems to me that nobody really knows what the hell is going on - multiple explosions, dead people, possibility of fallout (or maybe not) - seems that we can't get a straight story out of anyone on this subject.

I've heard everything from "it's cool, man - don't worry", to "oh shit - fallout is going to hit North America and kill everyone" (which doesn't affect me personally, because I'm out of the proposed zones listed on that fake map). Even if it did affect me, I still probably wouldn't care too much - my motto has been: some things are just inevitable sometimes, so why even fight it.

I'm not hating on Japan, as they've been through enough - earthquake, tsunami, Godzilla/Mothra attacks, groping on overcrowded public transit, expensive toilet-paper, tentacle-rape, the repeated release of the "Pokemon" series - disastrous pandemonium everywhere you look over there.

If it turns out that this whole situation does blow up to apocalyptic proportions, you can be fairly sure that the U.S. will get involved, and go and attack Iran or something (because they must have something to do with all this, right?). This whole ordeal has the potential to scare the piss out of many gullible & naive individuals, unless people actually start reading everything they can to educate themselves, and get a better grasp of things - even then, the news that's being put out there about it varies greatly, so it's not like you'll ever get a clear story either way.

Take my advice, and don't even care until all of these stories decide to tell the same one...even if it's "too late" by then - at least you won't look like a paranoid fool.
Besides, tumors can be sexy.
By "sexy", I, of course, mean "not sexy in the least".
