Duck and Cover

emochild987, go listen to your shit music pussy.

This should be more like "Duck and Kiss Your Ass Goodbye!"

lol america..... dumb ppl since beginning of time.

B...S... They're gonna get cooked!!!

I have to defend poor Bert the Turtle.

When Duck and Cover was made, they didn't have the Hydrogen Bomb, which is orders of magnitude more powerful than the A-Bomb. While being less than a kilometer from ground zero meant probable vaporization, ducking into a gutter could really save your life at even a moderate distance.

If you want to be a cynical jerk and mock Bert the Turtle or 'America' (because its fashionable to be a cynic I guess), well go ahead. But you're being thoughtless ape.

Duck and Cover was produced in the same year the first hydrogen bomb was tested.

Your shipment of FAIL has arrived.

It is bullshit, and they knew it, but i think the people needed something to cling to. Back then, not quite as much was widely known about the results of a nuclear explosion, and people also needed to feel like they could do something.
Also, if you duck and cover, it means you wont leave a recognizable carbon shadow, which means people wont stop and get emotional about war, just fight back unquestioningly.

lol i agree I am an american, but i grew up in Austria (no americans not australia) Americans are dumbasses.

bullshit. lol.

Complain when your banana republic has the capability to even build a nuke=)
