“The Day After Tomorrow” was a joke.
Now “Threads”, that had me crapping in my pants, especially when they showed the real-life “Protect and Survive” PSAs, those alone were creepy enough.
It was just called, “The Day After”
AND if you remember, Jason Robarts was in the car and the EBS system DID work!
I guess it works in the movies. obama should call in Speilberg, Francis Ford, and special effects to fix it. I’ve been in broadcasting for forty years and feared the government more in our lives with the EAS test. A part of my fear of big brother’s takeover was quelled by this EPIC FAIL... but, truly did we expect it to work? Worse, what if, God forbid, we need this kind of notification... But, look at Canada, they STILL don’t have a National system in effect. Just the province of Alberta has a system cause of the tornado in ‘87.
