Video Flagged Dead

The House in the Middle

One of many PSAs produced during the early years of the cold war. This one features footage of atomic tests, and suggests to the viewer that their houses should be well maintained to protect against nuclear attack.

The 'house on the right' ends up being switched with the 'house on the left'. Notice the roofs on the two houses during the blast wave: the house on the left has half its roof intact, while the house on the right loses its entire roof. Notice a few seconds later when they show you the 'house on the right' ablaze and with half its roof.

Slobs are anti-american commies! Reminds me of former Homeland Security Chief Tom Ridge telling everyone to stock up on duct tape and plastic sheeting in case of a terrorist attack post 9/11.

Golly gee I never realized, not to mention that the fallout form a 3 megaton blast would probably kill me in a matter of hours. I think at that point I wouldn't care about my house being on fire or not.

fear propaganda. things like this are still going on almost everwhere on tv it's just more subtle.

(it wouldnt matter which house ends up on fire if they're both directly hit by a nuclear explosion!}
