It's not even that. Chernobyl is the name of the power plant. The abandoned city is Pripyat.
Actually, if we wanna get all technical here there is a city called Chernobyl for which the plant was named that is also abandoned along with Pripyat.

How am I being douchey? I was just pointing out that there is in fact a city of Chernobyl. I wasn't trying to sound condescending if that's how I came off.

You've dismissed Stimbo and a few others after asking questions which they took the time to answer, and then, rather than deal with the truth of what Tiberius said, you wanted to argue.
I think the points have been made here: Don't see it if it offends you; see it if you want.

I was merely trying to stimulate debate. That's all. If I came off as dismissive I am sorry. And personally, I'll probably go see it. I'm not terribly offended at all by it but I like to play the devil's advocate.
