Who would you pick?

Es la hora de elegir un nuevo líder del mundo y solo tú vota contará. Aquí estan los únicos hechos de los tres candidatos:

Candidato A: Este se asocia con políticos corruptos, consulta con astrológos y ha tenido dos amantes secretas. Además, fuma cigarillos uno tras otro y toma casi diez martinis cada día.

Candidato B: Este es un héroe de la guerra. Es un vegetariano y no fuma. De vez en cuando toma una cervezita y nunca ha engañado a su esposa.

Candidato C: A este se le sacó de su cargo dos veces, no se levanta hasta las doce de la tarde, usó opio en la universidad y toma un cuarto de whisky cada noche.

¿¡A quién le eligirías!?

( Sí ya has oído esta, ¡no diga nada! )

(NOTE FOR HEIDITA: Notice I did not put any accents over the pronouns este y esta - did I use them correctly?)

I pick A. He's openly corrupt so we know exactly how he will act and what to expect from him. As long as his best interests conincide with our best interests, he is the best man for the job. That is how we elect our political leaders, isn't it?

DJ: "rational" is the adjective. You want the noun "raionale". - samdie, Jun 15, 2011
that was my fault for not correcting that either. i'm sure it just missed DJs radar like it did mine. - la-araña-discoteca, Jun 15, 2011

Is this a trick, jeje?

I'd say...B! He sounds like a good guy.

P.S --- Why no females?

No trick! And there isn't a right or wrong answer. But we'll wait until a few more people answer before I tell you who "B" is :)) - la-araña-discoteca, Jun 15, 2011

Here is the English version:

It is time to elect a new world leader, and only your vote counts. Here are the facts about the three leading candidates:

Candidate A: Associates with crooked politicians, and consults with astrologists. He's had two Mistresses. He also chain smokes and drinks 8 to 10 martinis a day.

Candidate B: He is a decorated war hero. He's a vegetarian, doesn't smoke, drinks an occasional beer and never cheated on his wife.

Candidate C: He was kicked out of office twice, sleeps until noon, used opium in college and drinks a quart of whiskey every evening.

Which of these candidates would be your choice?

If you have heard this please do not reveal any of the candidate's identities!!!!

A - sounds like he is the "real" world.

B - sounds boring

C - has been elected twice already - must be something good about him - at least he sounds relaxed enough to do deal with the pressures of high office.

Of course we're given only a small amount of mostly irrelevant information upon which to base our choice.

I would go to a reputable web site that provides detailed information before voting, as I usually do.
