    I’ve just stuck this on my blog. Hope that’s OK. I love it, and I’ve included a link to here.

    Uhm… not that funny actually. Chernobyl was a horrible tragedy.

    Obviously, you’re not familiar with the formula of tragedy × time = humor. Think of the Hindenburg, or how much fun it is to make fun of the famous Winslet & DiCaprio vehicle (which shall go unnamed).
    Why, only a few years ago AIDS was horrifying. Now? Hilarious. Give it time. You’ll all laugh in the end.
