A Humorous E-Mail

[lady lib]

This joke just came in my e-mail and it made me laugh, so I thought I'd share. Hope it's a new one for you, and even if it's not, I hope you get another chuckle from it.

An Ethics question


This test only has one question, but it's a very important one.
By giving an honest answer, you will discover where you stand
ethically. 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, Louisiana 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!

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?

:evilgrin:

1. High contrast color would be more ethical -nt

2. High contrast color film, hands down...

on his shoulders as he goes down.

8. Thanks

Very kind of you to say. :D It's a hilarious photo, very sweet. Brave and goofy at the same time. And he looks good in the hat.

4. LOL

:rofl:
Good one. I thought it was going to ask would you save him. I like the options it gave much better than what I thought it was going to ask. I'd definitely use high color.

5. black & white... more of the 'classic' journalist feel... n/m

6. I'm gonna have to go with the classic simplicity of b/w.

It's symbolic of his black and white worldview as summed up in his Sept. 2001 statement, "Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists."

A simple photographic statement for a simple man. ;)
