Smile Ethics Test 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 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.


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 woman in the water. She is fighting for her life, trying not to be taken down with the debris.
You move closer. . Somehow the woman looks familiar. You suddenly realize who it is. It's Hillary Clinton!


At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take her under . . . forever.


You have two options--you can save the life of Hillary Clinton, or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death of one of the world's most powerful women.


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?

Too funny Todd. However, I would jump in and save her. Lord knows the Republicans need her to run in 2008.

Carry on!

That question doesn´t apply. I would NEVER come to Miami FL. Too dangerous for German tourists. I´ve read what Floridians wrote about the current situation, yet:

"Die Botschaft hör´ ich wohl, allein mir fehlt der Glaube!"

Throw her a cinder block painted as a life preserver.

And BTW, high-contrast color film might work better underwater.

Yeah right, they linch Germans in Florida.

They tie them down and chop their tiny testicles off. Then they bring their tiny testicles to the GGDC (German Genitals Display Center) in Orlando.

The people of German castrating Florida advertise the GGDC in Germany as Disney World.

Not only for German tourist - it is dangerous for everybody, because sad, sad Fidel is sooo close and you do not know if Goofy or Minnie (at Disneyworld) are in fact terrorists!

To all the Willy Wankers out there:

If you have any doubt you are one, please take a mirror and compare:



What does the fact that Cuba and Fidel Castro are close to Florida has to do with terrorists?

Europe is I don't know how many miles away from the Arabic world, yet do I see more Arabs in Europe than Europeans. How many of them are terrorist?

cough.... cough.... London subways.... cough..... cough..... shoebomber..... cough....... 9/11 attackers from Hamburg..... cough......

I've got a freakin' bad cough here....

Can´t be. Judging from myself, we don´t have tiny testicles over here. Haven´t checked other men, though, only speaking about me.

Cough, cough... Iraq War still not won... cough... dozens of GIs die every day...cough... Halliburton... ahem cough... Carlyle Group... cough cough... Bin Laden business connections with the current president´s family... cough... Bin Ladens funding of Arbusco... cough...

Bad climate over here, too, it seems.

@ Mittelholzer: so isses!

Don't even mention business connections with Hussein, you may not like what gets dredged up.
