How to Understand the Nuclear Situation - BROADCAST IN JAPAN! - DISTURBING!

I'd imagine the Japanese children would be very scared right now.
And I can just see them getting a giggle out of Nuclear Boys problem!
Whatever brings a smile to their faces in desperate times like this, is a good thing right?

I am afraid my first post has to be a question and possibly one that has an obvious answer. Is this amateur animation really being broadcast in Japan ?
A calming and reassuring message delivered to children in this way I can easily understand and applaud but, I cannot quite believe that this is a genuine broadcast.
If I am wrong I will get back in my kennel and stay there.
