I hope you become a mod someday.

OMG the pyro monkey died. <cries>

By the way... lets piss off somebody with nukes, and all duck. We can let them exhaust their supply of nukes, then strike back!

Duck away from the window fast. THe glass may break and fly through the air

HOLY ****ing shit, that's fully. I think shards of glass perforating your beautiful body is the least of your worries.


And the newspaper and thin cloth stuff.... HAHAHAHA. Wear a pantyhose over your face and body at all times, and the thin fabric will protect you from the nuclear explosion!

And the guy on the tractor. Notice how his head is near the wheel. Would of beeny funny if the tractor kept moving and he got ran over. And all it was was the flash of a a camera.

Well, something thin might prevent you from the initial flash, but they fail to mention the 800mph winds or ANYTHING about radiation.

Hiding in the gutter will protect you from a thermonuclear fireball!

Sure, the sand around you has just been turned into solid glass, but you just hang on to that gutter, and you'll be fine!

Of course it's not gonna work. They just made these movies to give people a sense of safety. I mean, right after September 11th, the US government told people to ducttape a room so that it was airtight, and stock up on supplies. The fact is, in those conditions, you'd die after half an hour from carbon dioxide poisoning- they just want you to feel safe.

People actually did suffocate to death after doing that: http://www.snopes.com/rumors/ducttape.asp The idiots

Ahahahha, that's freaking great. I guess the government sprung that on us for an alternate reason- to weed out the idiots. Priceless

EDIT: oh, it wasn't even in the US... phooey.

Its just anti-fearmongering.

Man, that was a great film.

They got the facts wrong though. It won't help you. Lying flat in a concrete basement might do the trick, but still, thermonuclear explosion = you dead.

Parody of that:

I've never seen the real thing though... til now . The real video is almost funnier. It's funny when they hide under the newspaper to protect themselves from a nuclear blast....

And for the duct tape one: http://www.solidarity.com/hkcartoons/duckandcover.html

 

[short recoil]

Well if you think about it that's a reasonable video.
It's the best position to be in if you want any chance of surviving, the advice is given to children so they know to adopt the crouching position which is much safer than running about like a headless chicken......i think telling young children about how their skin could be turned to ash and their retinas burnt instantly from the flash would be kinda counter productive.

Obviously it's only worthwhile if they are a certain distance from the blast.
