This Test only has one question...but it is a very important one.
Just got this from a relative...

This test only has one question, but it's a very important one (do not scroll down to the end until you finish reading). 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 realise who it is.

It's George W Bush!

At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take him under ... forever. 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 colour film, or would you go with the classic simplicity of black and white?

3. To hell with a Pulitzer Prize, I'd drop the camera...
and hold his head under the water just to make sure.

7. gotta love it
Though I'd watch yourself with what you say. Fantasizing about the POTUS's death; the freepers are likely to report you to his goons, who may give you a hard time. But you are completely within your rights, so have at it.

5. I guess I grew up with Look and Life magazines
too much. I would definitely use black and white for the sheer realism of it.

On the other hand, I think I, too, would want to make sure he never came up someplace, and would hold him down long enough to ensure my place in history. :)
