A Morality Test
 
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.


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 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 furor.


THE TEST:

Suddenly you see a woman in the water. She is fighting for her life, trying not to be taken down with the debris. You move closer. Somehow the woman looks familiar. You suddenly realize who it is. It's Hillary Clinton! At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take her under forever.

You have two options:

You can save the life of Hillary Clinton or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death of one of the world's most powerful and brilliant women.

THE QUESTION:

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?*

Buffymommy 12-04-2007 10:53 AM

LOL! Too funny! I would go with color....:D

Cajungator26 12-04-2007 11:00 AM

C. None of the above.

I hope I never see Hillary in office, but I'd save her life. After all, the man upstairs is watching. ;)

I was in my car on the highway when I ran into a huge back-up..miles long. There were helicopters overhead and police cars screaming by on the shoulder. A group came running down and was stopping at every car...breathlessly they ran to mine..

"George Bush's motorcade has been overtaken by terrorists. They are demanding $10 Million dollars ransom or they will set it on fire and everyone will burn alive. We are taking up contributions"

I asked how much other cars had given?



"A gallon or two"

ouch....

SCUDSBROTHER 12-04-2007 02:32 PM

Black n' White is best for dramatic photo shooting.

MaTH716 12-04-2007 02:46 PM

I would ask her if she wanted a glass of water first and then I would definatley use the colored!

Storm Cadet 12-04-2007 03:09 PM

I'd use my phone to video the dramatic event!!!!

azerica 12-04-2007 03:16 PM

No matter my opinions or feelings for a person I would still try to save their life....well except Jessie Jackson or Al sharpton...in which case I would totally go with the video,,,,,

I might save Hilliary, but that's a stretch. Those two guys on ther other hand I would just snap a few pictures of, and call it a day.

azerica 12-04-2007 05:21 PM

[giggles coyly] tee hee

timmgirvan 12-05-2007 02:51 AM

....How big were the waves?????:eek:

3kings 12-05-2007 05:59 AM

Did I have nice shoes on and was there somewhere to place my wallet (those ID's are a pain to replace)? But really I'd save her and at the press conference I would ask people not to vote for her.

ShadowRoll 12-05-2007 07:41 AM

Of course I'd save her. And then parlay my heroism into a high paying assistant flunky post in the Clinton dynasty.

Downthestretch55 12-06-2007 02:06 PM

Wowzer! These responses are too funny! Thanks all.
Now I'm wonderin' what Dubbya is giving Scotty McC (his former press secretary) for Christmas. Perhaps he has something nice for the guy that stated Georgie Shrub lied us into war. I also wonder what Dicky Cheney is going to give to the lovely Valerie Plame.
I DO know what Dubbya is giving his big boned daughter, Jenna. Hint: it looks like it's made of chocolate, fourteen inches long, and it vibrates.
Whoopie!!! Hot times under the Christmas tree!

Which would be great until you committed "suicide"

Ouch! Okay, the truth is, I think Hillary would make a competent prez, and I might even vote for her if she gets the nom, but you've got to admit that stuff like filegate and whitewater makes for ample material for sarcastic humor.

In the interest of equal representation, here's a couple of pictures that always makes me laugh (the latter, sadly, is undoctored):




pgardn 12-06-2007 07:13 PM

Good stuff.

Actually, Shadowroll, as much as the second photo makes me laugh, too, it's been doctored:

http://www.snopes.com/photos/politics/bushbook.asp

(Much as the original joke that started this thread has been, too- I first heard it back in 2004, but with Bush as the subject. Heck, it probably dates back earlier-- "President Grant is trapped under a burning horse carriage... do you try to get him to hold still long enough for the photo exposure to take, or do you resort to sketching the image?)

I stand corrected (and shame on me because Snopes is one of my favorite sites). Now you've got me re-thinking that whole Florida thing...

Shadow,
Too good to not comment.
So...He's holding up a baby striper, at least it looks like one. Probably smells like one. No comment on what Hillary smells like, but after slick Willie gets done with her...OH! Nevermind! She doesn't either. I've heard that hers is a sixteen incher, turbo-vibrates.
What evah gets ya through the night!
And GPK, maybe Hill and Jenna will do a menage a trois. One only hopes, right?

I can't wait until "My Pet Goat" is made into a movie. Seriously, isn't he holding that book upside down?
Too good! Too funny!
Stay tuned...DaHoss will pm me. Yikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Downthestretch55 12-07-2007 10:13 AM

How did I know DaHoss would pm me?
So predictable!

I so crave his approval. Please like me DaHoss.

Puleeeze.

Question...are you helping your mommy pack fudge again this Christmas?

Downthestretch55 12-07-2007 03:14 PM

And yet another pm from DaHoss:

Big Daddy Ray

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Wayne, you are a phucking psycho. Everyone knows it and when you were gone no one gave a sh*t. You are obviously a very troubled and sad old man. Get a grip. Making cracks about my mother? Are you 10 years old? Trust me, someone with the issues that you have, including the family issues should not be bringing up anyone's mother. And trust me, I know more than you think. Are you going to help your son pack fudge this year like when he was younger"

I'll answer you in public DaHoss. I don't know why you don't like me. I am so devastated by your disapproval. I extend my hand in friendship during this time of seasonal brotherhood and inquire if you are making candy with your mom, and YOU call me a phucking psycho???? Ride that Hershey Highway DaHoss. Chocolate is good!
Regarding Big Daddy Ray, he's been retired and is now being retrained as a polo pony. I have other ones in training that will hit the track soon.
Have a joyous Christmas DaHoss! Hang you stockings from the mantle and see what you find the next morning. Have you been in touch with Larry Craig?

" Keep digging that hole

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You are just making yourself look worse and worse. Keep it up though, I am enjoying it. "

DaHoss,
I'm not digging any holes. The ground is frozen and there's six inches of snow on top of it. I don't know why you think I look worse. I'm actually quite handsome and some lady friends have recently told me that I look better than I ever had in the past two years. Must be all the fitness stuff I've been doing lately.
So I'm confused about what you enjoy.
Does it have anything to do with toe tapping under the bathroom stall wall?

In the immortal words of one of my heros, Rodney King, "Can't we all just get along?"

I wish you and your family the merriest of holidays.

Please stop stalking me with pm's. If you have something to discuss with me, DaHoss, put it out in public for the rest of the board members to see and comment on. Why do you call yourself "The Predator"?

I'm so very, very saddened and depressed by you no liking me. I CRAVE you approval. Your words have such profound meaning to me.
Well....maybe not. If you think I care what you think, you are indeed wrong.


Wayne (DTS)

Mortimer 12-09-2007 06:33 PM

DaHoss,


I'm not digging any holes.

Of course not...your holes are preordained.


The ground is frozen and there's six inches of snow on top of it.

At this time of year the 6 inches of snow is a pretty strong indication the ground underneath is not frozen.

Just a helpful point of interest there.





I don't know why you think I look worse.

Ah do.


I'm actually quite handsome and some lady friends have recently told me that I look better than I ever had in the past two years.

Thank my luckies I haven't seen you over those past 2 years ago.........I wouldn't want to see the Lady friends even with bow-wow safe glasses.






Must be all the fitness stuff I've been doing lately.


Uh-oh....another internet olympic decathlon champion.




So I'm confused about what you enjoy.


Frankly I think tic tac toe strategy confuses you.



Does it have anything to do with toe tapping under the bathroom stall wall?

You've played it in public restrooms!!!?




In the immortal words of one of my heros, Rodney King, "Can't we all just get along?"

I thought it was "OW-OW!!!"





I wish you and your family the merriest of holidays.

Oh stop with the disingenuous nonsense.





Please stop stalking me with pm's.

Can't an olympic decathlon champion handle a simple internet pm??

Now I know you guys use your brawn,but did you ever think of blocking him?...or maybe just turning the doggoned thing off all togther? Perhaps a reply via the same method in which you received it??



If you have something to discuss with me, DaHoss, put it out in public for the rest of the board members to see and comment on.


That's great logic....clutter the boards already cluttered with nefarious dilly dally . Do you have a hint on how stupid you are?



Why do you call yourself "The Predator"?

Well......didn't he merely kill you and move on?



I'm so very, very saddened and depressed by you no liking me. I CRAVE you approval. Your words have such profound meaning to me.


See what ahm sayin' about keeping your thoughts private?


Well....maybe not.

Believe me...it didn't sound sa hot.




If you think I care what you think, you are indeed wrong.


Oh you don't have to get snotty.

i don't even know what the subject is here, but seeing that picture of the Bushs fishing on a flooded New Orleans street reminded me that its about the funniest thing I have ever seen.
