Simple Test
« on: July 30, 2008, 05:37:34 PM »
Just got this on an email and thought you might want to try it:


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 England , York 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 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 into 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 Gordon Brown! You notice that the raging waters are about to take him under forever. You have two options:

You can save the life of Gordon Brown or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death of one of the country's most powerful 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?
Advice worth what you just paid for it.

I'd use my digital in full colour then make it black and white later on to see which looks best :P

wtf is Gordon doing in York anyway.  I say take a seat in the Three Legged Mare, grab a pint of Centurion's Ghost and just keep watching to make sure there is no danger that he can get out by himself.  You may want to keep a pole around to push the bugger back in if he is getting out.

Why's everyone hating Gordon Brown? He seems pretty safe. Apparently he's not very good at his job, but even so - he seems nice.

relating to this, my answer would be

Call a $%&#ing election to see what kind of film to use.

Got nothing too much against the guy to be honest.  Think he's had a rough ride since being PM.  But he is ripe for taking the piss out of.

I like Gordon =(

He made a $%&# up of the whole election thing, but I think it was a fair enough call. Find me anybody else that would call an election with a high chance of losing.

my big problem with GB is how he seems to base policy decisions on what the tabloids say.

Exactly

You know a government is finished when the manifesto is written by the Red Tops - the same thing happened to John Major's government.

GB has sunk already, no point in saving him.
