Stupidly going where no Star Trek parody has gone before.
Remember that terrible Star Trek spoof done by accountants we showed you a while back? Well, we’ve got another awful Trek “training video” put together by frumpy people for you! This one was made by the staff of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station and was actually filmed within the plant. Wait…what?
Oh, it gets worse. Apparently staff at San Onofre were too busy with Star Trek parodies to keep their plant from deteriorating into a clown show straight out of an episode of The Simpsons. In 2012 the plant was shut down for radiation leaks, employees have fallen into the coolant tanks and investigators found pipes “fixed” with tape, plastic sheets and broomsticks. Yeah.
Hit the jump for a Local Action News! report on the whole thing, with lots of footage from the spoof…
I second Asian lady’s slack-jawed look at the end of the video.
