Ignored: Can I borrow your name for a while? I've been talking to myself here, it seems. That's what I get for being absent so long, lol!

Anyway, This is a good test, you all should really try it. There is only one question, but it's an important one. By giving an honest answer you will gain more of an insight into your character. With all of your honor and dignity, what would you do?

The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation, where you have a crucial decision to make:

You are in Florida, Miami to be exact. While you are safely aground, there is great chaos all around you, caused by a hurricane and severe flooding. You are a photojournalist in the middle of this great disaster, and attempting to find the shot which will perfectly capture the desperation and futility of the situation. There are houses and people floating all around you, disappearing into the water.

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

Suddenly you know who it is--its George W. Bush! At the same time you know that the raging waters are about to take him away...forever!

There are two options: You can save him or you can shoot a Pulitzer Prize winning photo displaying the death of one of the world's most powerful men.

And here's the question: (Please give an honest answer)

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

I'd toss him the camera glued to a rock and let him take his own, damned picture.

Black and white. No doubt about it. The irony in choosing black and white is too compelling.
