We should figure out a way to make bluefin tuna radioactive


Obviously some of that radiation from the Fukushima event washed into the ocean, so it isn't a surprise that some of the fish in the region are a bit, shall we say, hot.

Now, that is not unexpected, and obviously it would be ridiculous for anyone to consider eating fish that are this charged up.   So why can't we grab a few bluefin and 'discover' that they're making the Geiger counters click, too? 

It'd be enough to make any sane Japanese citizen swear off ōtoro (bluefin tuna sushi) for good.

Which is exactly the outcome that I'd want to happen.  Geez, can't they realize that bluefin tuna is loaded with dangerously high levels of mercury already?  (Well, not exactly dangerously high, but that's what I'd tell them.)
