Officially, rates of cancer across China are up by 30%. What's the unofficial rate?
And in the world of risk assessment and lifetime dosage, its takes ALOT of extra dosage to increase cancer by that much.
Yeah, life in china is full of wonder...wonder how screwed up your offspring will be.
Hailing from the Cancer Alley of the US, I find it funny to be now smack in the middle of the Cancer Alley of Asia.
What? Matt Groening wouldn't let you use a picture of Blinky?
Sometimes I'm surprised when the fish I'm served only has 2 eyes. But it's probably better that way.
The fish photo was taken from the Springfield Weekly website, and is apparently Blinky's cousin.
I also thought I'd keep with the 'even' theme of the photograph series (except for the cyclops pig).

I like how the mutated fish from The Simpsons conveys the idea that these mutations are due to rampant pollution in China. Concealed dissension...nicely played.

I made a mistake in this post...
The Two-headed turtle is actually a 2006 story.

We found it via this link, and well, I stuffed up on the double-date checking.

I hope this doesn't detract from the message we're implying.

Now how about dressing up Mr. Burns in a Mao suit chasing Lisa, who is carrying a vial and a camera?
I like the way blinkie is somehow able to cruise atop the water like a boat.
