MAJORLY funny
An email from my Mom...really quite funny. Quick Ethics 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. 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, 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 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
realize 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 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 color film or would you go with
the classic
simplicity of black and white?
