Relive the glory days of Civil Defense with Target You!, a collection of classic God-help-those-who-don't-help-themselves shorts describing the precautions you can take to avoid immediate death at the hands of an atomic bomb ("or an H-bomb!"). Best entries:
What is Communism?
Commies are lying, dirty, shrewd, determined, godless... "And Godless is probably the worst, because it causes all the others."
Warning Red
The most depressing entry, as a town is destroyed in flames and dazed citizens wander amid the rubble.
Duck and Cover
Learn how to save your life by imitating a talking turtle. In the park, in the halls, in the supermarket, duck... and cover!
Target You
In its most memorable graphic, the crosshairs zoom in from the Free World to Your Groin. Definitely the most heinous plot of the Godless Communists.
My wife and I watched them last night (and a couple this morning) to get into the proper frame of mind for Superman Returns. After all, we needed the Man of Steel to save us from the Man of Steel.
