A Walk In The Park

without comments

You are the director of a major television news station. A man and a woman are spending their day in a park, walking, holding hands, and kissing. They notice they are being taped by one of your crews. The crew is doing a story on romance in the city. The man tells the television reporter that he is married and his companion is not his wife, but the wife of a well-known minister. He demands that the tape of them kissing be destroyed. The reporter does not destroy the tape, but instead he presents you with the tape and informs you of the situation. You recognize the woman and she is indeed a minister’s wife. The caption on the screen reads, “these lovers are enjoying a nice afternoon together.” You have five minutes till the start of your program so there is no time to reshoot the footage.

What Would You Do?

Would you go with the story?

OR

Would you decided to find some other way to fill the time?
