Morality Test

[desoto_hia873]

For once, this type of email didn't come from my father (he's in England at the moment), but he'd have forwarded to me if he'd gotten it first.

~*~
This test only has one question, but it's a very important one. By giving an honest answer, you will discover where you stand morally. The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation in which you will have to make a decision. Remember that your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous. Please scroll down slowly and give due consideration to each line.

You are in Florida, Miami to be specific. There is chaos all around you caused by a hurricane with severe flooding. This is a flood of biblical proportions. You are a photojournalist working for a major newspaper, and you're caught in the middle of this epic disaster. The situation is nearly hopeless. You're trying to shoot career-making photos. There are houses and people swirling around you, some disappearing under the water. Nature is unleashing all of its destructive fury.

Suddenly you see a man floundering in the water. He is fighting for his life, trying not to be taken down with the debris. You move closer... somehow the man looks familiar. You suddenly realize who it is. It's George W. Bush! At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to pull him under.

You have two options-you can save the life of G.W. Bush or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death of one of the world's most powerful men.

So here's the question, and please give an honest answer: Would you select high contrast color film, or would you go with the classic simplicity of black and white?

Snerk.


And I think black and white would look better in a situation like that. :o)

I'm pretty sure my father would go for 3-D technicolour with Dolby surround-sound. He's like that. :-)

The really amusing thing for me is that I saw this same joke circulating the web last year... except it was Hilary Clinton in the punchline. Guess it's a pretty easy fill-in-the-blank sort of funny. :-)

the classic simplicity of black and white.

Simple, but effective. :-)

So dropping the camera to go hold his head under isn't an option?

[desoto-hia873.livejournal.com]

Hee! My father would definitely go for that option.

Black and white. I think color would make it seem so Hollywood.

[desoto-hia873.livejournal.com]

I prefer B&W myself. Gives it that timeless, classic feel.

Bwaha!
Classic black and white, no contest!

Of course, multiple television cameras filming from every angle is another option. :-)

Bwahaha! Hilarious. But surely it would have to be video? You wouldn't want to miss the screams :-)

[desoto-hia873.livejournal.com]

True enough. :-)
