History Lessons from Reality Television

In the last episode of Top Design the contestants had to design a bomb shelter that they could live in with another person for 50 years. When approached about whether she could live in her bomb shelter for the rest of her life, Natalie happy upbeat, questionably intellectual designer responded by saying:

"If the world was to end, and I can plan it because I was a God, it would have to be something stupid...like...the Chinese have built the transformers to bomb us back because they were pissed about the Hiroshima bomb"


Natalie then went on to create a Zen Den because she obviously knows a lot about Asian history and culture.

It actually reminds me of another great quote about World War II spoken by well respected historian and former Senator John Blutarsky when he said: "Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"
