Test Your Morals

[wells]

Just had this forwarded to me. Quite a surprising result - I was shocked by my answer anyway. Here we go.

"This test has only one question, but it's a very important one. By giving an honest answer, you will discover where you stand morally.
No one else will know, so you won't be fooling anyone but yourself if you give anything but a truthful answer. 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 read slowly and thoughtfully, giving due consideration to each line.


Here's the situation:

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 photo journalist 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 realise who it is.

It's George W. Bush, President of the United States!!

At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take him under... forever. You know that by giving a little assistance 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 colour film, or would you go with the classic simplicity of black and white?"

L.M.A.O off truely great truely brillient!

I would use neither. I would have invested as a decdnt digital SLR that can do both colour and faux-black and white.

Any idea where this one originated, Mr Gribsnob?

I've forwarded it to a number of other journos who've not seen it before.
