The Red Button.

[Et3rnalLegend64]

I remember someone doing a thread similar to this a long while back. It was called "The Black Button." Youtube it. The consequences of this situation are a little different though.

I wouldn't hit the button I think. I don't feel like killing off a member of my family, it'd screw more than a few things up. The money would be nice though; I wouldn't have to worry about all my school crap.

This was a short film that was posted on YouTube a while back.

Take the key. Really. Even if you convince yourself that the button is what you want, you are unaware of one very important fact. Can't spoil it for those that haven't seen it yet, though.

I wouldn't press the red button, duh. It's not out of love for my family, I simply don't value money very much.

The key. This is an easier scenario than the the black button. Why would I want to kill someone in my family?

 

[Jedoro]

Dammit, as much as I'd like to push it...

-Don't really care about most of my family
-Could use the money to help cure cancer or end world hunger or something
-Wouldn't have to worry about providing for a family
-Guns... lots of guns...

...I can't kill or risk killing someone who is neutral in my eyes.

Key. Could anyone imagine me killing? Thats a laugh.

So let me get this straight: A large number of you would risk suicide to possibly kill a family and get rich? This explains the atheist asshattery on this site. I feel sorry for many of you and your childhoods.

In my case the button would bet pushed long befor the guy with the case and the key got to speak just to see if it would destroy the world

the button, plain and simple I don't like my familty

 

[Borrowed Time]

The key as I can always obtain money, a car, a home or any of those other things. I can't regain a member of my family that's gone.

"Don't Push the Red Button!!!"
*presses red button* "So why couldn't I press the red button?"
"No reason we just don't like people pushing the red button."

The sadist in me says we are all going to die and wants to push the button. The romantic in me thinks that not committing murder is a turn on for women so that part of me is against it. I guess my rational side is all the remains ... don't push the button it says. Wait a moment ... I don't have a romantic side. It's still a tie.

Apparently you can't spell, which doesn't change the fact that I can't read. How the hell did I transpose excludes to includes?

Ok, so I failed. Too bad, because the large prevalence of familicide tendencies on this site is a subject worth exploring.

Define unfathomable?

I'd like to know exactly how much it is if it's UNFATHOMABLE.

Either way, I'd be taking the key and sending the nice man on his way and thanking him for the opportunity.

 

[Chesterfield Snapdragon McFisticuffs]

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.

 

[No One Jones]

Entirely depends on whether or not I even like my family. Many years ago I would have said hit the button. Now I care a little more about them so no I'd just leave.

 

[StarStruckStrumpets]

Why did it have to be a red button? You know that I can't resist pushing big red buttons. Also...me wants money.

*Slams button 50 times*
