Since buying one, I feel safer already! Mine comes specially equipped with a nuclear radiation shield. I can survive a 10 megaton blast all while being asleep!

I bet some people will feel like asses if we're ever attacked.
My crazy socialist dad says the same stuff about terror warnings.
Thankfully, a piece of paper has his statement on it so he can feel like an idiot in the next couple weeks, if the suspicion is correct.

Reminds of the huge increase in fallout shelter sales, when I was a kid in the 50s, and Joe McCarthy was telling us that the Commies were going to take over.

Anyone seen the price?
"Quantum Lite Sleeper is a scaled back version of the original Quantum Sleeper and is aimed at giving customers a variety of options as to the design and use of the of the unit apart from plating it with 1.25� polycarbonate and fitting it with diverse sensors.
These units would be priced at about one eighth to one half of the cost of the Quantum Sleeper (The average cost of the Quantum Sleeper is estimated at about $160,000.00) depending on what features is selected. Thes Lite Sleeper units would have limited purposes and capabilities compared to the fully armored and equipped Quantum Sleeper. The features will still include many of the aspects of the Quantum Sleeper and provide a level of security and privacy during normal sleep periods. "

Now, for a LIMITED TIME ONLY SO ACT NOW!, at half the price of a Quantum Sleeper, I'll express mail the... QUANTUM BLANKET!!!
More portable, more shiny and more reflective against alien and government radiation experiments and telepathic mind control.
4 out of 5 doctors agree that they've never heard of it before, but screw them, who cares what they think because they'll be wishing they had a QUANTUM BLANKET!!! when the time comes.
ACT NOW and I'll include QUANTUM WRAP
It's perfect for protecting sandwiches, pets and small children at a fraction of the cost of the quantum sleeper.
So what are you waiting for? The terrorists/aliens/kidnappers/Masons aren't.
Act now! And remember QUANTUM!!!!

LOL, got to laugh at all this fear-mongering. My poor mum just got a pamphlet through the door on how to survive a terorist attack. She said to me 'Oh, are the Iraqis in Britain now?'. I said, 'No'. She then said 'Oh, I thought the Al-Qaeeda threat was gone now since the war on terrorism had begun' I said, 'No, mum, we were actually safer before this war on terror'.
Fear, propoganda and the rightwing donkeys are pushing this crap into our faces. Hell, they need some excuse to go a bombing around the world.

True, Zim's post implies that there really is such a massive threat, but that this advert is just playing on it. Whereas the reality is that there is very little threat and these people are just adding to the paranoia perpetrated by the upper echelons of the Bush clan, and his media-controlled outlets, like FOX blews.

Now we get to know a bit more about your right wing fanboyness.
Maybe you should report your dad to the government?

So you're hoping for a terrorist attack, just so you can prove your dad wrong.
Try therapy instead.

Fear and Propaganda aren't things that just happen in the US.
It's human traits to act out and do these things.
Wake up or something.
There are ripoffs being sold on all parts of the Globe. And suckers are buying them.

Now who is being irrationally paranoid here?

A friend of mine's father built an underground bomb shelter in the early 60's - you reached it through a little sealed door in the basement, and it was quite elaborate. Excellent place to party.
I visited another friend of mine in Moscow a few years ago. They lived in the old Communist Party compound outside the city, which is now leased to American firms doing business there. Among other things it includes Kruschev's old dacha, an elaborate tunnel system, and its own power plant - completely self-sustaining in case of attack.
But here's the ultimate in bomb shelters:

Yeah, you didn't know wood panneling does that? Every home built in the 1980s is already safe from 10 megaton blasts.
