Yea, I remember once when our school got nuked. I think I was in the 3rd grade. We all ducked under our desks and were saved! I personally killed 4 rankens once when I was in the Navy.

Thank God for the lead plumbing that no doubt saved your life.

Don't forget the lead paint, which shielded us from the radiation!

You could ride it out inside a fridge, like Harrison Ford did!

John--the SIMPSONS does great "edu-film" parodies as well!

My wife is a Russian (lived in Estonia most of her life). She's told me about how her teachers also drilled the fear of nuclear war into her. Of course, the flip side was that she was always told about the greedy, heartless Americans being the villains, and not the heroic, humble Soviets.
Here in Canada, I'm sure my parents thought that both the USSR and USA were entirely governed by lunatics.
