Well put, Ms. Blutarsky

Reality shows are so educational. Last night on “Top Design,” the cheery challenge was to redesign a bunker in a fallout shelter. By way of inspiration, the designers were told to imagine there had been a nuclear attack and they had to spend 50 years in a small concrete room. Fun!

Can’t say I learned much about design, but I did get a history lesson. One of the contestants was taking the concept to heart and imagining how the nuclear holocaust happened. “I’m thinking that it would be something like, you know, China created some transformers or something to bomb us, to pay us back for Hiroshima.”

I didn’t get the contestant’s name, but it’s probably safe to say, “Well put, Ms. Blutarsky.”
