The Red Button.

[Happybobby1623]

Interesting decision. If it's immediate family (as in mother father siblings) I'd choose no button and take the key. Now if we wanted to get more distant, I'd be far more inclined to take the button. If there are 5 members out of my 100 member family that I really care about, thats a 5% chance one would die. But then there's Murphey's Law to take into account as well, so knowing my luck and I chose the button, my brother would be gone. Now here is another interesting theory, but if you believe that everyone in the world came from one mother millenia ago, we're all technically "family" in that regard, and if thats the case, why the hell wouldn't you press the button, I mean, 6 billion people in the world, what are the odds you'd wind up killing the person you love?

Press the button. A lot.

 

[Skeleon]

Take the key and get the hell out of there.
No matter who I would kill with the button, it'd be on my conscience forever.

 

[Madaxeman101]

button to get the money and then i can research how to ressurect the family member

 

[Captain Pancake]

Key. Family is important to me, I'd never have the guts to kill anyone, let alone someone with blood ties.

 

[Aunel]

button,
is it bad for my karma?
I don't know half of my family, so I couldn't care much.

 

[Pegghead]

Take the key, Im a good guy

 

[Aardvark Soup]

Since I'm a normal human being, I would of course not press the button. Not even if the person being killed was chosen randomly and not someone I know. There is something very wrong with people that would actually do that in my opinion.

If I could choose which family member goes, in which case I'd choose a distant cousin I don't give a crap about. Then I'd do it. Otherwise I'd never risk killing my parents.

If it was just a random person somewhere on the other side of the world, I'd be slamming that button like an angry monkey on speed.

 

[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.
