Has anyone else received this Bush-bashing email?

What would you do?

This test only has one question, but it's a very important one. Please don't answer it without giving it some serious thought.

The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation, where you will have to make a decision one way or the other.

Remember that your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous.

Please scroll down SLOWLY and consider each line - this is important for the test to work accurately.

You're in Mississippi...In Biloxi, to be exact. There is great chaos going on around you, caused by the hurricane and severe floods. There are huge masses of water all over you. You are a newspaper photographer and you are in the middle of this great disaster.

The situation is nearly hopeless. You're trying to shoot very impressive photos. There are houses and possessions floating all around you, disappearing into the water. Nature is showing all its destructive power and is ripping everything away with it.

Suddenly you see a man in the water, he is fighting for his life, trying not to be taken away by the masses of water and mud. You move closer. Somehow the man looks familiar.

Suddenly you know who it is - it's George W. Bush!

At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take him away, forever.

You have two options - you can save him or you can take the best photo of your life.

So you can save the life of George W. Bush, or you can shoot a Pulitzer Prize winning photo, a unique photo displaying the death of one of the world's most powerful men.

So here's the question (please give an honest answer):

Would you select colour film, or rather go with the classic simplicity of black and white?

Well, if they used the term "colour", it means they are British...not even Americans.

Screw the Brits who don't support President Bush. We don't need them. Probably Galloway sent it.

[Pippin]

These people are sick!

Now they're advocating murder or at least the death of another human being.

"Very bad idea to open e-mails from people you don't know"

Or, from people you do know......

[lowbridge]

Everyone knows that Bush can walk on water

Yeah, but the rats will still complain that he got the carpet wet when he came back.

Next days New York Times headline:

BUSH CAN'T SWIM

[Pharmer]

Yes I got it last night from a dear freind who is a bleeding heart, knee-jerk, liberal whose every other word out of her mouth is "Bush sucks!"

Now you might ask why I have a liberal freind? Dunno...

[ladyjane]

I got mine from a friend too. She's a liberal but otherwise a pretty good person. I was shocked. I responded as follows:

you sent this to the wrong person

I haven't heard back yet. She's probably embarassed.

[Gandalf_The_Gray]

It looks like mine originated in England and then was forwarded by someone in this country. What is wrong with these people?

For one thing, it's not original. Last time I saw it, hillery was the subject, sometime during the clinton "co-presidency". I've seen even earlier versions that predate e-mail with other subjects, generally politicians.

Personally, I'd lighten up a bit 'cuz when you think hillery instead of GW it is rather funny!

PS I've always had a preference for B&W.
PPS It's rather like the one in which the "smartest woman in the world" jumped out of the plane with a kid's backback.

[ladyjane]

You're right, I should lighten up.

A joke about drowning didn't seem very funny right now.
