But have things really changed that much? Where does a messy home fall on the color-coded threat assessment board? I don’t believe the problem has ever properly been addressed. It’s got to be closer to orange than yellow. Remember: If you don’t vacuum, the terrorists have won!

Talk about melodramatic. This should be adapted by Home Depot as inspiration to lethargic homeowners to get off their duffs and start those home fix-up projects that have so far been languishing.

And as for clutter – this 1954 perspective doesn’t know the half of it when it comes for 21st century tchotchkes. Using their prehistoric baseline, most of today’s houses would simply spontaneously combust from all their “stuff”.

No wonder American’s couldn’t wait to go to Disneyland – both it and this film made at the same time. Let’s see… should we take a Flight to the Moon or measure plastic slip covers for our overstuffed, hideous sofa, right after re-painting the siding with lead-based paint? Tough choice. Our tax dollars at work, indeed.
