A few months in comfy coziness could be idea in waiting out a bad storm. Maybe the government will have things back under control by then, and it will be good to have avoided the worst of the zombie attacks.

Poor Godzilla. Missed the chance to go to Disneyland. I'd hate cities too if I were he.

I don't get what's funny or what's the target of humor in the first one? Seems just a lousy remake of some bomb shelter advice.

Americans have a love affair with the bomb shelter. And the bombs.

Well, nothing wrong with having a bomb shelter is there?

You'll have a good seat from which to watch your fellow human beings perish.

Still better than to perish along with others.

Death is not the worst thing possible.

Ummm...it's clearly satirical.

Yes, it satirizes the instructions Americans were actually given back in the 50s, about how we should all build bomb shelters in our backyards and equip them so that we could survive the coming nuclear holocaust!

About as useful as "duck and cover"--but people were eating it up back then.

I've always wondered how many people actually built bomb shelters. I don't remember knowing a single family that did, so unless they were being very secretive about it...

One more--because this stuff fascinates me--a bomb shelter kit!

Thank you.
But it actually would have been useful in the event of a nuclear war (especially with 50s-tech hardware).
