Poll: Would you push the button?

[Evilbunny]

So here's the scenario. I give you a magic button. Every time you push this button a random person on Earth dies a horrible death, and you get $100. Would you push it? If so, how many times?

Personally, I would not. Even though I would not get caught, I don't think I could deal with the guilt of knowing I was responsible for somebody's death. So, what about you, Escapist?

 

[Souplex]

Is this aboot that stupid movie coming out?

 

[Valate_v1legacy]

I would freaking smash that button like it was God of War....

 

[The_Healer]

Oh man!

There would be more button mashing than in Soul Caliber!

Also, /irony. Your name is evilbunny and you won't press the button.

Why would I bother?

I'd rather earn my money, that way I could actually enjoy my wealth. There's an unsettling trend of people who are born into money/winning the lottery not being happy. The struggle is every bit as worthwhile as the spoils.

There is a movie like that coming out, but that's not where I got the idea, honest.

 

[Berethond]

Of course. I would push that button several thousand times, as the odds of me dying are less than 1 in 7000000000.

Is it bad that I said "Yes I would." when I saw the title, but before I could read the OP?

 

[Aqualung]

I'd push it enough times to buy my PS3 and some exclusives, at least.

 

[Godavari]

I'd push it every time I needed (or just wanted) $100.
I'm a horrible person, I know.

Nope.
I had the same reaction.
Wait...does that invalidate my answer?

Oh, and I'd press it at least 5,000 times.

Well, it was a stupid short story and a stupid Twilight Zone episode before it was ever a movie.
I feel the need to tell people that.

For $100 a person? Nah.
Now, maybe if it was $1,000...

 

[camokkid]

I would press it [b/]OVAH NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAND[/b] times.

as a certain wise man said in these forums

"and with that, I am off like a prom dress"

 

[lizards]

well i would but knowing my luck the first person would be my girl friend......but i would push it nonetheless everytime i need money

 

[Insanum]

No. Because i have a feeling it would be the button to a trapdoor that surrounded the button, and underneath it there was a spike.

 

[toapat]

Oh man!

There would be more button mashing than in Soul Caliber!

soul calibur is not a button masher, its a tempo, not mash based game. button mashers are more like tekken. SC you need to actually practice.

6.4 billion times

eh, im not completely evil. just want the fucking governments to end

 

[2012 Wont Happen]

I wouldn't push the million dollar button from the movie...

 

[Signa]

I would if I also got to choose who died. It would be like a death-note with cash rewards!

 

[toapat]

note that that episode was made back when the US$ was worth 25
