Ok, here's your task:
You must vote for a new world leader. Your vote is the vital one to decide between these three people, and the following is the only information available to you: Candidate A: - Connections with corrupt police - Seeks advice from astrologers - Has two mistresses - Is a chain smoker - Drinks 8-10 martinis per day Candidate B: - Has been fired several times - Sleeps in until 12 - Known to use opium - Has been sentenced and spent time in a foreign prison - Drinks a quarter litre of whiskey per day Candidate C: - Warhero - Vegetarian, non-smoker, only drinks a glass of beer every now and then - Paints in his time off - Never had any affairs/cheated on his sife. Who did you choose? Candidate A: Franklin D. Roosevelt Candidate B: Winston Churchill Candidate C: Adolf Hitler. This is a great example of simply selecting a few facts and leaving out some others to "help" people make certain decisions. This technique is not unfamiliar to advertisers ![]()

I went with A before I say who there were. C sound a little like how I live, and anyone like that can't be a leader. But I'm not a Vegetarian or racist ether. This is a cool idea.

B.
But I recognized Churchill and Hitler, so maybe that wasn't entirely fair. ![]()

Well, he's not a vegetarian, and I can't imagine him painting in his spare time -- not even paint by numbers.

He paints the progress of the War in pretty pastels though.

I didn't recognize any of the letters to be an actual person. I selected B. It seemed to resemble me quite abit. I haven't been sentenced to a foreign prison though.

I picked B, though to be fair I knew who C was but I didn't know how much I had in common with Churchill!
