★★★★ · There's a naked man on the porch!! · Spuzz · 2022-09-20
Interesting film here, as Ive never seen or heard anything about the threat of a gas attack during the war until now. Much like the nuclear bomb, this apparently threatened middle America and thus the authorities made this film to tell you what you should do!! Again we have the usual, 'keep windows closed! take off any infected clothes! (we see a man strip to his skivvies on his front porch lol) bathe bathe bathe! Among the oddities? It says to make a baking soda - water convocation in advance and to keep it handy for any eye emergency, Make sure you have an Enema bag handy too!…
