Japanese radiation awareness video for kids

In the wake of the crushing disaster, Japanese parents are trying to explain the problems with the Fukushima nuclear plant to their kids.  How do you talk about atomic engineering to someone who is just getting used to cups without lids?  You make a cartoon.  This 4-minute subtitled video explains the predicament of Nuclear Boy and his very dangerous “poo”.  His stomach is upset and doctors must give him medicine to make him better before his horribly stinky poo hurts the neighbors.  This surreal and strangely effective video has already gotten over a million hits on YouTube.
