Poll: The Red Pill or the Blue Pill?

[Howlingwolf214]

This draws (obviously) on the two pills offered my Morpheus in the Matrix. If you haven't seen the Matrix, and are able to crawl out from under your rock, I'll briefly explain what I mean.

The Matrix is a computer generated world that is designed to simulate reality. You see it as the normal life but your body is actually laying in a vat with a load of wires attached to it. As Morpheus says to Neo, "You've been living in a dream world."

Morpheus offer's Neo two pills. Taking the blue pill means that you will simply wake up in your bed. Maybe you believe it's all a dream, but forever you'll be wondering what would've happened if you took the red pill and whether what you got told was true.
Taking the Red Pill on the other hand means that you wake up in the real world. You face the horror of all those people in vats still plugged into the Matrix. And you have to try and live your life with the knowledge that everything you had done in your life wasn't real.

So, which pill do you take?

[I had to write an essay on this stuff. Good excuse to watch the Matrix though.]

Both pills, i want to break the matrix.

Red Pill!

So I can correct the mediocrity of the second and third film and be proud of being crazy about the Matrix series.
But eh, giant machines, war...red pills got my vote.

 

[Raven's Nest]

If I take both pills, do I still get to learn kung fu?

I do admit that the first film was definitely the strongest of the three.

It depends on what my quality of life was in the dream world, and what reality is like. Obviously based on this I would choose the more enjoyable option.

 

[Nitpicker of the Wastes]

I'll jump on the "Both Pills" wagon.

Experimenting with unsafe ingestibles is fun!

And the people will be fed with the liquified remains of you if you die, so no worries!

 

[Sir Bankhead]

Grind them both up and snort them.

Wait, I think I'm stealing that from somewhere.

I'll jump on the bandwagon and choose both, as well.

 

[robman1130]

ignorance is bliss
blue pill

 

[Floppertje]

jumping on both the stealing and the pill bandwagon:
'take both pills, fuck the matrix'

at least some of you should get that ref.

 

[Sassafrass]

The Red Pill.
Just to teach a certain someone to move his face from -_- everyone once in a while.
And to learn Kung Fu and become a Smith.

 

[SovietSecrets]

Both pills, lets make it exciting.

Ecstasy

Red pill, because then I'll learn Kung Fu and have to prove it to Lawrence Fishburne.

 

[TheLastCylon]

Smash them both into dust and snort.

That would be trippy.

 

[similar.squirrel]

Red, then I'd promptly reintegrate into the Matrix and use my neat little hacking abilities to have fun in the definitive MMO.

 

[Howlingwolf214]

Red pill, because then I'll learn Kung Fu and have to prove it to Lawrence Fishburne.

I'd pay to see that.

 

[Aptspire]

Both pills so a flabooish/ divide by zero effect may occur

 

[SideburnsPuppy]

Red Pill, but quickly grab the Blue Pill for later while he's not looking. Just in case I don't like the Real World.

 

[Kiefer13]

You really think I'm going to take some random pill that could be anything that's just been handed to me by a guy I've never seen before in my life?

Uh, no.
