No, it's a light hearted look at how to get your full 4 minutes. The point being that the HD signals are (probably) received first on VM boxes on the HD channels.

In reality, I think that people would be panicking, praying or hugging their loved ones as nothing else will matter to them.

I even suspect that many of the people designated to carry out various tasks in this eventuality would abandon their posts to try and be with their loved ones as the time comes.
