Jan 13 2010In Case Of Nuclear Attack....

7. Comfort the dying.
Geez that's morbid. And as much as I'd like to think I could, I'd probably be too busy running around in circles screaming. They don't call me Mr. Cool Under Fire for nothing you know.

What about step 4? Place a newspaper over your head? Genius!

"4. Place newspapers over head."
You could also try outrunning the fireball.

I like how in step 2 he still feels compelled to take a peek through his fingers at the fireball rushing at him. And in step 3? Do they all have extendable arms or some shit?

I was always taught since boyhood to duck and cover...
NOW I know alls I needs to do is place a newspaper over my head!
wtf...enlightenment is surprisingly unfulfilling

my mouth is making love to itself right now, zomguuuush
....that's how good taco bell is, everytime
8. Xodus I - January 13, 2010 4:13 PM
@7 How the hell'd you get Taco Bell so fast? Or are you on your phone/laptop
9. darth val - January 13, 2010 4:18 PM
I also like step 5. Who the hell qualifies as high priority evacuees?

Step #7 looks a lot like cowgirl..... I prefer reverse cowgirl when I die.
11. Xodus I - January 13, 2010 4:20 PM
@1 Nice Jurassic Park referance :)
12. naas - January 13, 2010 4:22 PM
@8 taco bell is 7 minutes away, round trip without hitting any lights

Note for #4: When the government started the whole 'duck and cover' thing, they were perfectly aware that hiding under a desk/putting your head under a newspaper would do jack shit. They just wanted to give people a sense of security and allow them to think that there'd be a chance of surviving a nuclear attack.
Good ol' government.

@11 Finally someone who get's it!!
15. Goss Jerk (insert dildo here) - January 13, 2010 4:27 PM
comfort the dying... how does that work?
16. naas - January 13, 2010 4:29 PM
@15 not knowing when it's going to happen
17. Brrrrian - January 13, 2010 4:30 PM
step 7: necrophilia!
(gross)
jus sayin
18. Ruthless - January 13, 2010 4:32 PM
it would be alot better if she was straddling him with her skirt pulled up... thats how i would want to be comforted while i was dying
19. naas - January 13, 2010 4:36 PM
...is that an airport luggage car for the bodies on #8?? friggin genius, they even stood one up to make it look like a joy ride
20. Closet Nerd - January 13, 2010 4:37 PM
I think step 8 should include something about isolating the corpses to keep mutant zombies from re-animating and coming after us..... just sayin
21. Closet Nerd - January 13, 2010 4:43 PM
My co-worker (who introduced me to Geekologie) sent this photo in this morning..... guess he should of just sent the link where he found it.... just sayin
22. Photocopier - January 13, 2010 4:44 PM
since when did dead bodies look like sleeping bags?
23. ash - January 13, 2010 4:44 PM
love how it says portland oregon in the corner. Thanks again fellow oregonians, wtf??
24. Closet Nerd - January 13, 2010 4:45 PM

kinda reminds me of the instructional posters from fallout 3
26. Sheldon - January 13, 2010 5:18 PM
There there...
27. jimmydogballz - January 13, 2010 5:28 PM
Step 1: don't worry about the end of the world happening out the window, you just go ahead and keep reading that morning paper. There's no reason to get all upset. In a few moments you will have superhuman strength.
Step 5: apparantly high priority evacuees do not include women and children.
28. Joeproblem - January 13, 2010 5:49 PM
You know what I'm thinking, I'm thinking number 8 is a great idea until they all come back to life and now they've got zombie back up, 1 or 2000 stray zombies is bad enough but a couple hundred in different rooms breaking out at the same time is just a bad idea waiting to happen.
29. QuiGon - January 13, 2010 5:57 PM
Yessing all your Mario Star Wars Nintendo rubbish qualifies as comforting the dying you must know.
30. emptyaddy - January 13, 2010 6:19 PM
And the malicious redirects have apparently been dealt with....in other news, this is perhaps by far one of the best post I've seen on the geek. Acknowledgement of what is (or was) considered the norm is sometimes the greatest satire. Kudos.
31. jimmydogballz - January 13, 2010 7:27 PM
step 7: ride him side saddle
32. Kevvvvveeerrrrrooooonnnnnoooo - January 13, 2010 7:38 PM
Poooooop on corpses'!
33. Ranjana - January 13, 2010 9:37 PM
I'm sure the placing of newspapers over people's heads will drastically reduce the need for step 7.

I live in Portland-- I cannot imagine where this thingus could possible be located...
35. ganmerlad - January 14, 2010 7:11 AM
@25 That is pretty much what came to my mind too, that it could work for Fallout.
36. Jaded Icon - January 14, 2010 8:04 AM
If we are talking about survival then # 7 should be "pilfer the dying"......what? It's not like their going to need it!
37. cabbo - January 14, 2010 10:23 AM
Looks like it's being a little too comforting.
@30, nah, this isn't all that great. Almost the entire pic is lol-worthy, so why single out 7.?
38. masai - January 15, 2010 11:02 AM
I'm sure the placing of newspapers over people's heads will drastically reduce the need for step 7.
39. josh - January 19, 2010 1:05 AM
anyone notice the baby corpse? HA
40. Karl Anderson - January 19, 2010 4:53 PM
This is a fake. If you ride the BART, look at their "in case of emergency" signs, this design mimics those. Also note that the "isolate corpses" panel takes place in a stylized train. The original fake was the same size, had the BART/MTA/whatever logo, and was made to be stuck over the actual signs.

im SURE putting a burning newspaper on your head will save you from the end of the world
