The New York Times Employee Entrance Exam: Question 20

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1Lp25XViGk

I chose answer "A", Jack! Ok, which one did you pick?

My reason for choosing "A"? It's a nice sunny day, a little breezy, all's quiet on the western front, no other world shaking events taking place anywhere - so why not stir things up a bit by blaming G.W. Bush for something else - again! This time it would be for not signing the Kyoto Treaty (as if signing the treaty would have some sort of a positive effect on weather conditions all over the world}. And the NYT will always print something to blame 'W' for!

A thought! After all, if every nation signed the treaty then God (Himself) and Mother Nature would also have to comply with the statutes now, wouldn't they? Besides who are we to shove a piece of paper in God's face telling Him to knock it off with all the bad weather we've been having? That would be a huge no no! And Mom Nature doesn't like to be pushed around and told how to behave either!

Hattie!

P.S. I'm pretty sure I saw the entire video, Jack! But I wonder if there was supposed to be a right answer at the very end of the tape?

I chose "none of the above"

I didn't see 'None of the Above' as an option to the original question, Jack!
If I were really applying for a job there I probably would have chosen another answer or 'None of the Above' - because I WANTED and NEEDED a job - but I wasn't and I didn't!

"None of the above" wasn't really there, but I would have written it in and then knowing the NY Times they wouldn't have hired me.
