So… Nuffnang has a contest going on, where you get a shot at winning tickets for the movie premiere of Prince of Persia if you write a post on the topic: “If you have a dagger that turns back time, what event/danger would you change?”.
Now I’m a sucker for free things. Even if said free things are only going on in Singapore and I’m in physically in Hong Kong right now.
Proof that Kiasuism transcends territorial boundaries.
Anyway, my initial instinct was to talk about these two assholes historical figures and how it would be awesome to assassinate them before they managed to wreak havoc upon the entire world.
These dudes are soooo bad, that I’d even daresay that the threshold deontologist in me is willing to sacrifice a couple of innocent lives to get to them.
I mean, let’s say that there was this random fat guy who was sitting on a rickety little bridge DIRECTLY ABOVE Hitler and Stalin.
And you just so happen to have in your hand, a little box with a red button.
If you press the red button, a latch would open, and the fat guy would fall on both Hitler and Stalin, killing them both. Unfortunately of course, the fat guy die too.
I mean, you’d totally do it, right? SUCH A GOOD DEAL!!!!! Sacrifice one random fat guy, prevent the Holocaust and all the poor Russians from getting purged! Millions of lives saved! Yaaaaaay.
But then I thought about it a little more, and remembered an Ashton Kutcher movie called “The Butterfly Effect”. (Basic idea: Can the flap of a butterfly’s wings in Brazil set off a tornado in Texas?)
Which, I guess, just means that changing one small detail can have large, widespread consequences that you totally would not be able to predict.
And, therefore, sacrificing that random fat guy might end up with A NUCLEAR EXPLOSION AND THE END OF THE WORLD.
In conclusion… I’m gonna totally cop out and say I’m too wimpy to change anything.
Ha ha ha.
Anyway, here’s the trailer and catch phrase I’m obligated to share:
