RE: Government Propaganda or Public Awareness Campaign? Duck and Cover... That's Edutainment!

In any crisis, people panic less if they have something they can DO to make them feel in control. Making these videos I'm sure made the government feel like they were doing something useful. The truth is, if we had had a nuclear war or incident the government would be in panic mode, and the true leaders would probably be the local people in community willing to make sacrifices to alleviate the suffering and restore order.

Good points. I think the humor derives from how dated this is.
