C'est la morte

Le contestant d'exposition de jeu est défié une fois demandé quel objet satellise la terre. L'assistance n'aide pas.

I'm not sure if that made any sense.

I am sure that this does not. It shows a clip from the French version of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" The question is "What revolves around the Earth?" the choices are A. The Moon, B. The Sun, C. Mars, or D. Venus.


We should take no joy from watching a game-show contestant squirm under the weight of a question that is clearly difficult to the general public. But I guess this is like witnessing a sibling getting disciplined. Instead of a graphic, anecdotal indictment of the US educational system, this clip slams the French.

Watch carefully at 1:27 as the host betrays a touch of frustration with the results of the audience poll.

Aristotle and Ptolemy live on! Thanks to The Amazing Randi for the link.
