It seems like more often than not, television is full of sex, violence, and bad language, but sometimes TV does have our best interests at heart! For example, for years the BBC station has had programming lined up to calm us all down in the event of a nuclear attack! I don’t know that watching TV would really be on my list of things to do in the event of a nuclear blast, but just in case, BBC has me covered.

And exactly what kind of program does the BBC think would have a calming effect on people worried about nuclear war? Why “The Sound of Music” of course! I have to admit, if anyone could calm me down in an emergency, Julie Andrews would probably be the one. And that song “A Few of my Favorite Things” would do the trick too!

I don’t foresee a disaster on the horizon, but you never know when you’ll have a bad day. I mean, just last week I burned some chocolate chip cookies, and that really bummed me out. I mean, a nuclear attack MIGHT make me feel worse that burnt cookies, but the principle is the same!

So you might as well be prepared for something bad to happen. I recommend a Julie Andrews movie and a few favorite things. Well, a few of Nancy Halvorsen’s favorite things, to be specific! And today’s deal is guaranteed to do the trick to brighten your day!
