Be honest now!!!!!

With all your honour and dignity, what would you do?

This test only has one question, but it's a very important one.

Please don't answer it without giving it some serious thought. By
giving an honest answer you will be able to test where you stand
morally.

The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation, where
you will have to make a decision one way or the other. Remember that your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous.

Consider each line - this is important for the test to work
accurately.

You're in Florida...In Miami, to be exact... There is great chaos
going on around you, caused by a hurricane and severe floods ....... there are huge masses of water all over you.... you are a CNN photographer and you are in the middle of this great disaster. The situation is nearly hopeless. You're trying to shoot very impressive photos. There are houses and people floating around you, disappearing into the water.

Nature is showing all its destructive power and is ripping everything away with it.

Suddenly you see a man in the water, he is fighting for his life,
trying not to be taken away by the masses of water and mud. You move closer, the man looks familiar. Suddenly you know who it is - it's George W. Bush!

At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take him away...forever.

You have two options. You can save him or you can take the best photo of your life.

You can save the life of George W. Bush, or you can shoot a Pulitzer prize winning photo. A unique photo displaying the death of one of the world's most powerful men.

And here's the question: (Please give an honest answer)

Would you select color film, or go with the simplicity of classic
black and white?

Color.
Photoshop it if you want a B&W.

Black and white, of course. That should show his dark soul seeping through his pale white skin quite well.

Bah. I wuz Robbed.

I dislike Bush's policies, but I love democracy more than I am able to dislike the policies of any politician, no matter how vile. To do nothing is IMHO to disregard and undermine principles that make for a tolerable society

I say fuck the pulitzer prize and go fish for the president.

Cheers

Yea, if I was given the option, I'd save his ass.
But the question was more of a joke- Assuming that we'd all leave him to drown. Who the fuck cares? He's out the door anyway.

Besides all, I think this is a political thread, and it should be moved to the right place and you should be banned, and scolded.

Death:
Is far too great of a gift to wish upon someone you dislike.

Now torture...
