This is exhibit #1 that National Geographic has gone completely crazy.
To be more descriptive of their content these days, I suggest they change their name to “The National Geographic Lampoon”.
By the way, note their comment “...vulnerable populations are more exposed to fireworks pollution on the Fourth of July”. That’s a subtle playing of the race card. Fireworks are now racist, it seems.
Well blooming flowers are also known as oh never-mind
Did not a spoof magazine produce an issue titled “NATIONAL PORNOGRAPHIC” years ago?
I kicked them to the curb 20 or 25 years ago because they were full of Leftist content.
