Sahar Sashar put together this short video with Jason Jones and Tim Greenberg of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart about the duo’s trip to Iran to dispel some long-standing rumors that Americans have against the people of Iran. I love how it takes a comedy show like The Daily Show to really put the world into perspective.
I didn’t know this, but there’s apparently a company that sets up tours to Chernobyl and allow you to roam the nearby abandoned town of Prypiat with a tour guide. The tour guide carries around a radiation detector and shows you the amounts of radiation still in the area (not deadly amounts, but definitely nothing you want to stay in for a long time).
