I will pay you 2 million dollars a year...

[Mr.Pandah]

if you are willing to run an advertising campaign aimed at kids for cigarrettes. One out of every ten kids that see any of these advertisements will end up becoming addicted. Subsequently, they will die due because of their habits.

Are you willing to take the job? Why or why not?

(This is purely hypothetical, I'm just curious as to how many people would actually take money over lives of their fellow men/women)

Interesting replies so far...

But how about this

You will be paid $125,000 dollars a year (without taxes and all that fun stuff that would bring it down to probably about 100,000), would you still do it?

 

[SharPhoe]

Three words.
Screw. That. Crap.
I'm sorry, but no amount of money in the world will buy me out of my moral code.

 

[Blackadder51]

Fuck dat shit,

That is so not worth it

 

[fanklok]

where do i sign

oh yeah why this is going to seem cold and heartless mostly because it is but killing 1 out of 10 faceless nameless people that i will likely never meet and will die at some point regardless

 

[Lullabye]

Deal*shakes hand*
kinda sad how 1 outta every 10 kids are idiots, but oh well.

 

[Bored Tomatoe]

Ok. Where do I sign?

 

[CD repo man]

I'LL DO IT FOR FREE!

Idiots? Or without parental guidance to show them the ill-effects of smoking? Nobody said the commercials told them anything about lung cancer.

Fuck dat shit,

That is so not worth it

Why not?

 

[Helmet]

Nope. Future generations are fucked enough. They don't need my help.

Knowing my luck, the 1 kid that gets addicted because of me would also be the one kid who, as an adult, would have created the cure to whatever kills me.

And he would withhold said cure from me, as a form of payback.

Dirty bastard...

 

[Mr.Pandah]

Ok. Where do I sign?

Right here, underneath the part where you explain why you would sign it without a second thought...and right next to where you fill out your credit card numbers.

 

[pantsoffdanceoff]

If people can be swayed to off themselves because an electronic box tells them to. Then I'm being payed 2 million dollars to do Darwin's work... cool

 

[Colours]

There are laws against this.

I don't think I'd make it past a week due to government regulations.

Damn my marketing studies ruining the fun of killing kids.

 

[Mr.Pandah]

Sure. Where do I sign?

(If people weren't so fucking stupid, their kids wouldn't be smoking at all, and neither would they. So, the only ones I'm hurting are the idiots, and you know what, that's fine with me.)

So you punish the children that haven't been taught otherwise?

I'd look the man/woman in the eye, say no, and walk out of the building and use a concoction of %30 Newton's Second Law of motion and %70 irony to make that person die of lung cancer for even thinking that.

 

[mrx19869]

sign me up...

i got no problem selling cigs to kids.

 

[Berethond]

Two million dollars is a lot of money. In fact, when you introduce that much money into someone's general vicinity, their morals tend to bend and sometimes break.

I'm not technically killing children, so yeah, totally work that job.

It may be a bit difficult to explain to however I may be dating at the time, though.
