Amusing article about marketing energy in Japan:



Plutonium kun also appeared in a 10-minute anime made about a decade ago by the Power Reactor and Nuclear Fuel Development Corporation (now the Japan Atomic Energy Agency), an industry body specializing in the development of fast-breeder and advanced-thermal reactors, an anime that was swiftly withdrawn in part because of a scene in which Plutonium kun gets his boy pal to drink a glass of liquid plutonium while he sweetly intones that “I’m hardly absorbed by your stomach or intestines and I’m expelled by your body, so in fact I can’t kill people at all”.

The video is amusing enough to be worth watching. Understanding Japanese is not really necessary.

Just don't get it into your lungs. Lethal dose on the order of a microgram, IIRC (a barely visible speck).

This is truly scary stuff. Welcome to life on a planet...
