If you've seen one nuclear war, you've seen them all
Ok. Well... this might is the weirdest public service announcement about avoiding nuclear holocaust that I've ever seen. Us boomers all had to sit through the cartoon turtle and his "Duck and Cover" where they told us if we got under our desks after being nuked that we'd probably be fine. Hay Joe here (the puppet) explains how to build your bomb shelter and what pamphlets you'll need. I was wondering why I hadn't seen these before, and now I think I know. These are off the scale, and the scale goes way out there. Running time, 10:30.

i remember coming home from school and my daddy asking me what i learned and i said they taught us that when the russians drop the bomb we should duck and cover..duck under out desk and cover our head...there was a long silence and daddy said' did they also teach you how to kiss your ass good bye?'...
"Beginning: Nuclear radiation, it's like the sun, it's natural, and it's your friend."
Somehow I don't think the Japanese were thinking this when Hiroshima got bombed!
Very scary video!
bb: Wondering...was Canada inundated with this kind of propaganda post-WWII and during the Cold War?
@Blueberry-I have no idea, because it was before my time. Could be worth looking into, but I'm sure we were just as dissillusioned about the realities of nuclear war.
