This quiz 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 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’s unleashing all of its destructive fury.
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.
Here's the question, and please give an honest answer.......
Do you select high contrast color, or would you go with the classic simplicity of black and white?
Sorry if this already went around, 1st time I've seen it. I usually don't send these around, but thought people here might get a chuckle.

We're not ignoring you...
....well, o.k., we are. Guess what? It's been around...a looooong time. Seems to get re-written for different presidents and different disasters... (But it is funny and I like that you've re-written the punch line to take out the part about "film")

| Even if it has been around forever, i've never heard it. I read it out loud to a whole right-wing household and you got a big laugh. For Army boys to laugh at that, it has to be pretty funny. :) |

Would it have really been that hard to use the faster-than-ever forum search function before posting?
One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six... and that's just with one search.
Sorry, but it is a big pet peeve of mine how people just click  without even checking to see if whatever it is they are about to post has already been previously discussed. It would be awesome if when you clicked it you were forced to search first...

I did do a search. Didn't see anything current. I guess I didn't look back far enough. At least some got a chuckle out if. And 1 peeved. |
