100 Radioactive Men
A "guerrilla lighting installation" by Luzinterruptus that appeared in Hamburg, August 2011, during the Dockville Festival. According to de zeen magazine, its purpose was to "demonstrate, in a humorous tone, the paranoia that we are suffering from since the escape of radioactive material in Japan... to simulate, for the festival, a life under the constant threat of nuclear accidents."

When did the world turn into a paranoid lump of uncontrolled quivering mass of mush? Hiroshima and Nagasaki don't seem to be doing too much suffering from their little experiment with radioactivity. So why all the DOOM mongering?

I'll add to that the story about some kid that offed himself in front of his classmates. Immediately the shrinks were on scene telling everyone about how horribly the experience is going to impact on the psyche of the kids. "Maybe not right away but one day...." It sounded a lot like an infomercial for ShrinksRus! 😠

I agree that we tend to freak out about things that are a normal part of living, which dying is. But, Hiroshima and Nagasaki do have produced more handicapped people than average. It mostly comes down to the serenity prayer (paraphrase)Change what you can, accept what you can't change and know which is which.

100 radioactive men in the field,
100 radioactive men,
Take one out, let the air out,
99 radioactive men in the field.

They would have looked more radioactive if the lights were green! :lol:
