New Precision Guided Humor Assignment - Alarmist And Armageddonist Factoids For Greenpeace
Recently Greenpeace wanted to say something nasty on the occasion of President Bush's visit to Pennsylvania promoting his nuclear energy policy.
Unfortunately, they sent out an early draft of the press release instead of the final document, and it contained the following:
"In the twenty years since the Chernobyl tragedy, the world's worst nuclear accident, there have been nearly [FILL IN ALARMIST AND ARMAGEDDONIST FACTOID HERE]"
Now, I'm living in a glass house here, as I've often composed drafts with bracketed notes intended to be replaced by specifics. Especially if I'm composing something that I later intend to fact-check on Google.
However, this won't keep me from throwing stones.
Your Precision Guided Humor Assignment this week is to answer the question:
What alarmist and armageddonist factoids should Greenpeace have used in their press release?
Post the answer at your own blog and leave a link in the comments to this post, leave a trackback, or e-mail the permalink directly to Alliance.PGH@gmail.com. Entries due by 11:59pm EST Wednesday, June 14th and GEBIV will post the round-up Thursday. Late entries must be accompanied by a lame excuse.
God-damnit! You're all gonna die.

Oops. That's what I get for creating a draft first and then publishing it a day later.
