Some Gratuitous French Bashing

*

The following is a YouTube clip of the French version of "Who wants to be a Millionaire."

I want to believe that the contestant failed and the majority of the audience failed to answer the question because of some ambiguity in the way the question was asked.

The question seems clear enough though.

The question is "Qu'est-ce Qui gravite autour de la Terre?" which translates to "What revolves around the Earth." The choices are the Moon, the Sun, Mars or Venus. Click on the YouTube screen and see for yourself how they responded.

The game show host was stunned by what transpired.

So was I.

You might be too.

And before you get up too high on your high horse laughing at the French, ask yourself how confident you are that a randomly selected group of Americans would respond better.
