Remember Kids,

"After an atomic air-burst the danger of radiation and falling debris is over in about a minute and a half."
An actual line taught to those crazy 50's kid's during the height of the Red Scare with the immanent threat of a nuclear fall out. While scowering the depths of youtube i found this beautiful treasure of a PSA,
Here we see two true American Newsman shooting down anyone of the "take to the hills" fraternity. Why would you run when a Nuclear bomb is going to hit? Cause if you do, the commies win, and we don't want that, do we Jimmy?
The hilarity comes when the moustached power man decides the only fit treatment for anyone planning on fleeing is treason. How dare you not become a flesh eating zombie when the bombs fall! ITS THE AMERICAN WAY.

Worst piece of advice possible for an atomic fallout?
Well obviously you haven't seen Burt the turtle's PSA on Duck & Cover.
Yes kids, Nuclear bomb strikes? No Problemo! just jump under the desk and wrap a newspaper over the back of your neck, hell its gonna get pretty hot out there. This PSA suggests that a blanket will stop the effects of nuclear radiation, falling debris, shockwaves and the like. It scarily reminds me of that thing i used to do as a kid, Y'know "I CAN'T SEE YOU, YOU DON'T EXIST". A timeless strategy.

Im so thankful for British logic.

U-S-A! U-S-A!
