The Red Button.

[Ace of Spades]

I'll take the key.

 

[awesomeemosewa]

if i got to choose the person i wouldent even think but now aaaaaaa i got to say id take the shiny key. IT is shiny right?

oh and how much can u sell the key for??

 

[Crayzor]

I'd assume there was a catch somewhere that would screw me over at some point down the line, and so would not press the button.

Now, I do know that this is based off a Twilight Zone episode that is now stupidly being stretched into an entire film and this probably exists somehwere, but I am not in the mood to do a search under various names and things.
But mine has a little twist.

You wake up in a sterile white room sitting on a chair, not bound or anything. In front of you is a small pole, on top of which is a red button surmounted upon a metal dome.
A man sits behinds this, a briefcase beside him. He explains you cannot escape, and that you have only two options.
He says that if you press this red button, you will get an unfathomable amount of money, a brand new car and a new house. All this, if you press the red button, and kill a random person in your family, excluding you.
If you don't want to, the man will give you the key and you may walk out free. But no cash, no car, no house. Until you make a desicion, you cannot move, so you cannot attack him and take the briefcase and key. If you shoose to go, he hands you the key and disappears, so again, no attacking him.

What will you do?

I think I've seen this, It was called 'black button' and it was in some kind of film festival. And it was rubbish.

Ah now, it wasn't that bad!

No, nothing happens if you press. Life goes on just as it did. Nobody knows you did it and the universe can't get back at you because the button thing was an inter-dimensional test of morality. No wait, it was magic. Yes, magic.

 

[Smagmuck_]

THE BUTTON! PRESS THE SHINY RED BUTTON!!!

 

[Azraellod]

i'll leave it.

the majority of my family i don't care too much about. but there are about 6 members that i would get really upset if they got killed, and i really don't like taking risks.

besides, it's always possible that the man is lieing.

 

[TheGreatCoolEnergy]

Key. I don't want no blood on my hands

 

[ChromeAlchemist]

Oh please, 90% of the people here wouldn't press the damned button. The pseudo-misanthropy here is killing me.

The key. Unless there is truly no one in your family who you wouldn't wish death upon, you would do the same.

 

[Robert632]

i couldn't kill my family. they are to precious to me.

 

[MrNades]

I don't know I hate my Dad but it's random so I think I would pass.
I think this should have bee a poll as well.

 

[Daveman]

take the key! my family is awesome! we play scrabble and go on ridiculous holidays to random caribbean islands! screw cars and money, you can't play scrabble with a car!

 

[WafflesandBacon]

guilt is a powerful thing,to know you were the reason for someones death would be toture i would take the key

 

[wrecker77]

Kill the man on the other side with my mind.

Totally seriousness though, I would not push it. That person could have been the person who cures cancer or saves starving children. Or it could have been MEAGAN FOX! You killed Megan Fox!!!!!

Nope. The button can go break or something.

Ok then. On further consideration, I would not push the button. Life is more precious than money or possessions. I could maybe kill for a cuase I believed in, but not for material things. I think I would be haunted by my choice forever if I chose to kill someone for that reason. Not worth it.

Also being adapted into a movie called The Box. (I think.)

It is actaully. Here is the WikiPedia page for anyone who care. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Box_(2009_film)]

OT: The key, easily. There is always a catch.
