Subject: FW: A goodnight moral dilemma!






Scroll down slowly and pay attention...

So where do you stand morally?

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 New Orleans 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 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.

THE TEST

Suddenly you see a man 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 the President, 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 the

President, or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo,

documenting the death of one of the world's most famous men.

THE QUESTION

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?

Funny, but maybe a little unfair Eddie.

Although, personally, I think George W. Bush is a buffoon of monumental proportions, is it right to poke fun at another country's (almost) democratically elected leader when our own is such a dipswitch?

In times of crisis like this, saving someone is more important. I'll save him first (whether or not he is a president).

Maybe I'll keep the shutter button pressed while trying to save him

I first heard this joke a few years ago, but the target was not Bush but Jesse Jackson. In was even more offensive, but just as funny.
Time does pass quickly, doesn't it? Why it seems like only yesterday that Monica was crawling around the White House on her hands and knees!

Neither option...I'd shoot the photo digitally, upload it from a laptop and email it to the composition room..."it'd be on the press" it a few minutes!

Seriously, even after all these years, the Eagles "Dirty Laundry" still tells it like it is. ..."is the head dead yet?"

Sadly, bad news makes good copy, sells newspapers and increases ad revenue.

Sad, isn't it?
