Poll question: Who would you rather be: Ashlee Simpson or John Wilkes Booth?

If someone put a gun to your head...

[Zuni]

1. both will live in infamy

[WI_DEM]

2. That's a toughie

but at least JW Booth will be remembered 100 years from now :)

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

3. My thoughts exactly.

And I think killing the President is more reputable and honorable than ANYTHING Simpson might do.

[Bunny]

4. I wanna be Ashlee, baby.

I really don't want to get infamous and then have to die, like JWB. I prefer insipid anonymity, where Ashlee will soon be. It suits me better!

5. As Booth, do I have free will?

I can choose not to shoot Lincoln, continue my career as a noted actor and be forgotten a century later. Better than being Ashlee and forgotten in fifteen minutes.

[BurtWorm]

6. No. You have to live the life they live/d.

I'd rather have the trigger pulled, I think.

8. Diabolical assassin or Ashlee Simpson

Tough call. Of course, we don't know if Ashlee will end up assassinating anyone, do we?

[DBoon]

7. Ashlee

Booth has been dead for over 100 years. It was a tough choice, but between a moldering century old corpse and Ashlee, Ashlee has a narrow edge.

9. Booth was a Shakespearean actor. . .from a family of them.

[DelawareValleyDem]

10. John Wilkes Booth

which means I'd be the one putting guns to people's heads.

[phusion]

11. Ashlee...

I don't think I'd ever leave my bedroom!

:evilgrin: :evilgrin:

[4_Legs_Good]

12. That is EXACTLY what I was thinking

I could keep myself entertained forever.

13. Well, at least Booth was successful at his job.

Not saying you should neccessarily be proud of being a presidential assassin, but at least he didn't have to do some half-assed hoedown in the middle of Ford's Theater because the gun misfired, or whatever.
