redomega: NuttierThanEver: How quickly we have forgottent the Disney camera thread with the camera that looked like that which we shall not name

Which I cannot find a link to dammit but someone must have saved it. It was greenlit to the main page for god sakes

Here's a review on that (new window)

macadamnut: Tatsuhiko:

Wow haven't graduated from plastic to glass yet?

The Peter Sarsgard brand SARS Guard (new window)

Boritom: Hey, Goofy! Are you my Mummy?

Thanks! I came looking for a Doctor reference...

dreadprophet: CygnusDarius: Also, avoid the sewers like the plague.

Yeah, running into a Tank in the sewers is a real pain.

/wait, wrong game to reference

But post-apocalyptic worthy.

/Why do I see a Fallout-esque future ahead of us?
//If not the North Koreans with their Viagra-needed nukes, then the Russians

That mickey mask is not near as frightening as this one:

CygnusDarius: Try hospitals and grocery stores.

Oh yea, sure, head on over to Cornucopia and pick up a few items. Maybe there'll be a few med items in the back.

The only time I had to actually use my gas mask was to clean out the six month old milk in my fridge when I got back...

/I had two weeks to get everything done that everyone had two months to do.
//I forgot I had three half empty jugs in the fridge... surprised it wasn't sentient

Are you my Mickey?

Vangor: Sweet evil jesus, after seeing the picture shudders ran down my spine. I imagine a time lost but seemingly empty suburb which a man finds himself in, only to stumble upon a few children alone in a house watching a rather garbled station continuously skipping and rewinding to play five seconds of a cartoon's opening melody. The foolish protagonist calls out to the children, who slowly turn to regard him in the nearby entrance, all wearing some variation of this mask to cover gaunt, unnatural features such as blank eyes and sharpened teeth, maws caked in dried human blood.

Scary ass mask.

Let me know when your novel length version comes out. I would buy it.

Hmmm, it would seem that some websites are getting wise to the old "use Firefox to find the source code for the pic and then hotlink it" trick... the "View source code" button was greyed out for some of the more interesting pics I found.

Muuuuuuuuummyyy!

lol!

/oooo, look at all the pretty masks

Meh, looks more like standard-issue for attending one o' Walt's craptacular features back in the day.

All these gas mask pictures make me think of Kurosawa's Dreams, for some reason.


/do yourself a favor and get super baked before you watch that movie.

Just in time for Michael Jackson's funeral.

Much like people nowadays being astounded that the original walkman didn't have a 'shuffle' button - or that the other half of the music's on the other side of the tape, there's a frame of reference missing here.

My Mom and Dad are British (as am I); during WWII kids rightly thought gasmasks were scary as fsck and wouldn't put them on. Someone, somewhere thought that if you made them look like Mickey Mouse, it'd be more agreeable to the kids and they'd be more likely to wear them during an attack.

The more you know.

An image of Annete Funicello comes to mind; nude, save this mask, oven mitts and a pair of cowboy boots...

I'll be in my bunk.

I like the new burger king ad.

Pretty much this - it's no different than selling band-aids with the kids' fave cartoon characters on it; it's just the particular implement was a little more scary than something we have to deal with now for the most part.

Makes bio/chemical attacks fun!

try Tools - Page Info - Media

there's a nice list there of each sound, graphic and movie on the page. along with the full url and a preview window of sorts. gets you around that stupid spaceball.gif thing too.

I can see the resemblance.


/Hot like nuclear Fallout

\hot like a car bomb

gorgor: Ashtrey: Maybe the creepiest product, but here's the creepiest ad.
