The Boycott Begins Today - Choose the Best Answer
1. Which of the following is morally superior to seeing Mission Impossible III this weekend?
A. Plagiarizing several passages from a book before signing your own book deal
B. Getting drunk and molesting a goat
C. Getting drunk and molesting an underage goat
D. Robbing a bank
E. Punching Kobe Bryant in the face
F. All of the above
Comments
See, by attending that free sneak preview (and promising to slash Tom Cruise's tires), I don't have to see it this weekend. Moral crisis averted.
Your compass may vary, but I see the ethical hierarchy (most to least) as follows:
1. Punching Kobe Bryant in the face. Raja Bell fans, unite!
2. Plagiarizing several passages from a book before signing your own book deal.
3. Robbing a bank (if you were only doing it to break your brother out of the prison you designed, or to retaliate against a bank manager with a decades-old secret, or you're George Clooney).
4. Seeing Mission: Impossible III this weekend. Shoot, at least pick a matinee and avoid the crowds.
5. Robbing a bank (for any other reason).
6. That goat stuff, regardless of age of consent.

I'd say that E is probably the least morally reprehensible of the options.

How can anyone answer that hypo without more information about the goats. Is the goat male or female? does the goat have herpes?
Just because the girl stole a few passages from other books does not counteract that when her husband rubbed off her dot he found a published author. He was pissed, no gas station.
I think the fairer hypo is Jesus hates you

If you must see MI3 then buy a ticket to another movie and sneak into MI3 that way the money can go to RV instead. I would rather have my money go to help Robin Williams career rather than Tom Cruise. While RV doesn't look very good Mr. Williams has kept myself entertained with reruns of Mork & Mindy and the very underrated Popeye movie, whereas Tom Cruise's movies are just pure crap not to mention the fact that he's a major asshole.

Definitely E. Molesting the goat could have consequences in our litigious society. Even worse, you might get the clap. the goat clap

I'd have to go with "F" however I'm also suggesting to everyone that they go see any other movie but MI3, just to boost other box office numbers against it. The sad thing is that I might actually have a desire to see the movie if it were not starring the creepiest of all actors.

I agree with that guy named "Joker."
The person named "dot or feather" must have been high or drunk when posting because their comment makes little sense.
E is a good answer.
