Kind of a tongue-in-cheek title.

....coupled with a geiger counter on a California beach....that's the kind of tongue-in-cheek I think the poster means. Of course it's not the Fukushima disaster he's referring to. Don't be so sensitive.

It was referring to the other videos on WooTube that perpetrated to be exactly that: Radiation on CA beach via Fukushima. That would be the exact tongue-in-cheek was referring to. The titles of the other videos that this video is debunking.

I think that Fukushima is a much bigger problem than reported, but bullshit radiation claims do nothing to uncover actual real data about what is really going on.

people on here assured me months ago, this radiation disaster would not affect the US. That it would be of such low levels that there would be NOTHING to worry about. I'm talking about assurances from some real smart people with charts, graphs and maps and all types of oceanographic, climatological 'proofs'. Maybe they were wrong? Told me in essence that I was a worry wort. I don't know if this video is supposed to be funny, but I'm still a worry wort.

It debunks the fear with radiation is present on all beaches, black sand beaches and all. I'm still worrying about that ongoing disaster in japan. I think maybe the sarcasm smile would have fit somewhere in my response. It's also UTUBE info, always suspect to me. Until that mess is contained I feel it is a clear and present danger with the earthquake and tsunami potential in that part of the 'ring of fire'.

THIS grated on my nerves:

"Look: Greenpeace hates nuclear power with a passion."

The sky is blue. Fish swim. Birds fly.

I think the crashing plane was supposed to be relevant, and it certainly made for spectacular viewing...but:

Not a single plane was involved in the Fukushima meltdown that is turning the Pacific Ocean into a nuclear toilet.

The voiceover--whoever he is--discredited the guy on the beach. That's it.
