The Balloon Debate

Tue Mar 30, 2004 10:30 am by The Evil Thing

Exactly what it says on the tin.

For the benefit of those who don't know what the heck I'm talking about, a balloon debate is where you have a hot air balloon containing the last people alive on Earth. Unfortunately you're over the sea and the balloon is sinking. To survive you must get rid of people by throwing them over the side.

You enter whatever character you want (can be fictional, but popular fictional - no obscurities please) and reasons why they will benefit humanity so must not be thrown out.

I'll record the first 20 entries and knock them off based on people's reactions. The winner will receive a healthy dollop of gratification.

Format
Please enter your character in italics along with your justifications
Please enter any comments concerning other people's CHARACTERS as normal text
Please enter anything else inside {curly brackets}
You don't have to do this of course, it just looks a little clearer.

EDIT: Please do not tell me to kick off people who have not been entered onto the balloon the first place... choose from the list below. I will only accept your first entry, unless they all have justification.

Par example:

Winston Churchill - He helped England win World War II

I think Hitler is a poor choice as he is the most rubbish military commander ever

{This example does in no way reflect the depth I expect of you intelligent people}

Current list to keep so far (12):
Paladan
Orillion
Apocalyptica
Nicholas Parsons
Sylvia Saint
George Formby
Scarlett Johansson
Chips
TLR people
Sarah Smyth

Dunno, I'd just throw out everybody except myself. Just to be on the safe side

An idea came to my head and is now desperately searching for brain

Nicholas Parsons should be saved for the pleasure he gave to millions while hosting AngliaTV's "Sale of the Century"

Sylvia Saint, because her breasts defy gravity and I don't know any red blooded male who isn't gagging to give her one.

@Mustie,

That's a red herring don't you think? Silvia Saint already has balloons so she can save herself

Well. In that case, how about saving all of those who are essential to sustaining the pleasure giving industries?

Silvia Saint and NOT Jenna Jameson?

I'd like to nominate George Formby for his immortalisation of the cheeky chappy...and if the balloon starts to fall he can cheer everyone up with a quick rendition of "leaning on a lamppost" on his ukelele

Scarlett Johansson - My current fave bit of eye candy and if we're the last people alive i'd like a looker to get on with re-populating.

Just kick Osama and Saddam Hussein (if they're still alive) off and keep poor WB on even though he's become a fictional guy(I have a feeling he's still around somewhere). Let's keep:

Chips(how do you think he became a moderator?) and all the folk here on TLR.

Kick off:

George Bush (someone said he's infested by a Nomad{so what? Sue me if you can, I'm in Malaysia})Hey, Uba and UbaNew, and the Japanese who once attacked
my country.
