Ionising radiation is now good for you! 
MSNBC part owned by G.E. really downplayed the very real threat there.

European sources put the world wide death total from Chernobyl

No television here.

Where went the $2.oo upgrade for a much faster internet connection that

I got to pay the two dollars, without being notified and the
connection speed _dropped_ about 21K o average :-(
