First of all, if you have been there it is sad, they are trying to prepare you for chemical, nuclear, fire attacks and all of the pictures are horrible, just horrible.

Add some captions and you got this (http://mason.gmu.edu/~wchen1/homeland) * Warning, some foul language and sexual references.*

Funny stuff there, I can't even believe that they made that site in the beggining, amazing that people didn't laugh it untill they were shamed into closing it, too bad that didn't happen...

Have a Laugh.

That's the best laugh I've had in a while.

So much for allocating funds to message design...

I guess you must live on west coast or something, cause I've been at home (at your post time) for a while. :D

Damn funny - it really makes you wonder what they were thinking. Love seeing that crap out of context - and looking at the site they obviously missed a few ;)

In case of an emergency don't go to Texas - its radioactive....

Oh my. I take it you folks haven't see the genius that is TerrorReady.net (http://www.terrorready.net). It's got all of those funny pictures and so much more. Give it a good whirl and let me know what you think. :D

Ah I didn't get it from him tho. :o

Radation is seemly blocked by a thin wall. Remember that. :rolleyes:

Anywhere near the glowing red dot? You might want to leave....;)

Hopefully someone's getting feedback on the site and realizes that they have more work to do.

Acually they had a press release once and someone brought up that their images were laughable and silly.

The blew it off because people would find their advice usefull.

Sure, very usefull.

'if you see glowing radiative fish look at it and ponder about how it got there before running away'

Smooth.
