Are you as moral as you think you are?
grin (Please don't anybody go off on one because they have taken it literally )
This test has only 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. Only you will know the results, so remember that your answer needs to be honest.
THE SITUATION:
You are in Florida; Miami, to be specific. There is chaos all around you, caused by a hurricane with severe flooding; in fact,a flood of Biblical proportions. You are a photojournalist working for a major newspaper, and you are caught in the middle of this epic disaster. You are trying to shoot career-making photos.
The situation is nearly hopeless. 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: Donald Trump.
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 Donald Trump,
or
You can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death of the world's most powerful man, hell-bent on the destruction of the USA.
THE QUESTION:
Please give an honest answer.
Would you select high contrast color film,
or
Would you go with the classic simplicity of black and white?

Oh how this made me laugh after some sad news.. Thank you, just brilliant.

Skweek1 Sat 25-Feb-17 13:38:27

This has really tickled my family's sense of humour - definitely b&w!

Blinko Sat 25-Feb-17 13:49:25

Heard this before in various guises, Pol Pot, Hitler, Mugabe et al. Still good, though grin

Aslemma Sat 25-Feb-17 13:50:09

Definitely film it in black and white. My career, America and the rest of the world would be all the better for my decision. ?

grandMattie Sat 25-Feb-17 14:28:12

I agree totally with Aslemma.
Thanks for the laugh!

What a stupid question.

quizqueen Sat 25-Feb-17 14:40:16

I'm a Trump supporter so I'd be proud to have saved him. All the Trump hating comments out there really are getting pathetic now. He's been elected President of the USA. Get over it and get a life and watch something other than the BBC and you might learn something about what's really going on in the world.

Tessa101 Sat 25-Feb-17 14:41:30

Brilliant still giggling.... Shame a lot of people missed you point and didn't read it right.

Juggernaut Sat 25-Feb-17 15:02:59

Classic black and white of course!
It's such a shame there are so many people with either no reading skills, or no sense of humour!

HootyMcOwlface Sat 25-Feb-17 15:04:29

Haha! Good one! Love it.

(Shame some people have had a sense of humour bypass. Lighten up a bit, eh?)

joannewton46 Sat 25-Feb-17 15:07:49

Love it! Definitely high contrast colour film.
I wonder how many people actually read the question being asked?

joannewton46 Sat 25-Feb-17 15:12:06

QuizQueen. I actually watch the BBC, SkyNews, Russia Today, Algeciraz (?spelling) and some US news channels. Are you really saying that they are all against Trump unfairly?

handmadedogsweaters Sat 25-Feb-17 15:45:42

The question was all about having a "dig" at Donald Trump.

Royandsyl Sat 25-Feb-17 15:49:07

That was obviously not the question. I would most certainly rescue Donald Trump. I am sick of the British running him down. We should all get a life!

norose4 Sat 25-Feb-17 15:54:43

Just got it MawBroon, had to read twice(must be getting old!) very funny though ?

meandashy Sat 25-Feb-17 15:58:46

Mawbroon you've definitely opened a can of worms for some people who seem to have misplaced their sense of humour down the back of the couch!
I'm going with black and white I think, edgy and mood setting ?

Maggiemaybe Sat 25-Feb-17 16:44:32

MawBroon, I've really wrestled with my conscience since this question appeared. Unlikeable though Trump undoubtedly is, he is after all a human being. Also, I respect the right of the US citizens to choose their President, and he did win the election. I can also see that there were issues re Hilary Clinton and perhaps we as a nation weren't close enough to the nuances of US politics to understand why she was not the chosen one.

So after all my soul-searching, I've come to a difficult decision.

High contrast colour.

durhamjen Sat 25-Feb-17 16:50:57

Well done, Maggie. You actually made me laugh out loud.

hulahoop Sat 25-Feb-17 16:51:22

Black and White gives good definition

lizzyann Sat 25-Feb-17 17:31:37

Save Donald trump a life is a life

Direne3 Sat 25-Feb-17 17:37:48

Black & white to denote how much greyness he brought to so many. Thanks, MawBroon, your dry wit made me smile.
