Fun Flash Friday:
Throw Me - throw the little guy as far as you can. Avoid the thunderclouds. Use the wrecking balls and colored clouds for an extra boost. Simple as that.

It's the Vietnam War. Nixon has declared a state of emergency and allows for secret tribunals against anti-war protesters, draft dodgers, and others guilty of "hindering the war effort." They have two choices: spend 15 to 20 years in a federal penitentiary or spend 3 days in
Punishment Park, where they will have 3 days to trek 50 miles in the California desert without food and water while on pursuit by armed National Guard and police units.
Watch Peter Watkin's (
previously) "documentary" of Punishment Park
here (Google Video, with strong language ).

In 1965, Peter Watkins produced a fictional documentary called
The War Game in which the aftermath of thermo-nuclear attacks in Britain was depicted. The BBC declared that it was
"too horrifying for the medium of broadcasting" and was not aired until 1985.
Watch it here (warning: graphic depictions of effects of radiation).
