- colonelbuckshot, on 07/01/2008, -7/+330If I know the French, the audience probably did it on purpose. You can hear some of them laughing when he makes his final choice
- greenroom628, on 07/01/2008, -14/+310ah, the french...who apparently still think in pre-copernican astronomy...
- SEGA4life, on 07/01/2008, -10/+285 why the hell are they clapping at the end???
"yay we are idiots...woohoo" - MelvinSchlubman, on 07/01/2008, -7/+234Next question:
The earth is:
A: round
B: flat
C: a cube
D: shaped like your dumbass head (includes "hollow") - inactive, on 07/01/2008, -18/+203French woman are attractive
- blackrage, on 07/02/2008, -10/+158To be fair...The French are known *****.
If I were on that show, and some moron used a lifeline on some easy ***** like that, I would vote wrong just to ***** him.
But I too...am an *****. - secaedelcielo, on 07/02/2008, -17/+160it'd be "l'idiot"... not "le idiot"...
js. don't care if you guys bury me for correcting poor grammar... - uptwolait, on 07/01/2008, -8/+141Here is Earth, just chillin. That is a sweet Earth, you might say. FIRE ZE MISSILES!
- FatLoser, on 07/02/2008, -2/+106The Moon is like Earth's companion cube.
- dinostabOMG, on 07/02/2008, -8/+98Based on my experience of the French, it's more likely that they were trying to screw this guy for being an idiot.
- DeathJux, on 07/02/2008, -4/+92ELEPHANTS.
Bigger than the moon. - RoflcopterFUEL, on 07/02/2008, -9/+74I'd guess they knew the answer, just wanted to toy around with him.
- bryxal, on 07/02/2008, -1/+65on a question like that... that's what i'd do
- thecraigmcrae, on 07/02/2008, -0/+58women, not woman.
- PoliticalMan922, on 07/01/2008, -3/+60Wow...
- mrASSMAN, on 07/02/2008, -5/+61*****. I've seen this video many times before (yes it is old), and that's always the general response. "they just did it for fun!" Is there any indication of that? No smiles in the audience, no laughs, no gasps when he couldn't answer the question. No, most of them were as flabbergasted as him. Imagine if this were the American "Millionaire" show on youtube, and the same question and result occurred. You think we'd get the same benefit of the doubt? "Oh, the Americans were just fooling around, they knew the answer!"
Yeah right, we'd be called dumb fat pigs and every insult imaginable and it would be expected. This is a problem of mine, because I have been to Europe and I constantly read the comments that people from other nationalities make. Here's a little secret: The public around the world are as stupid as we are! They don't want to believe that, to them Americans are the stupid fat ***** of the world and everything is just dandy wherever they live! I'd almost like to believe that, because it would give me hope for mankind that higher intelligence exists outside my country. But it is *****! Even the Asian nations where we typically perceive the population as being more highly educated and sensible. I used to think that about South Korea, oh they're so smart over there, I would say. Then I realized I was ***** dreaming! There is a fear existing in that nation of anything and everything it seems like! Superstitions of every sort.. just recently it was the mad cow scare. A cow got a species-specific disease and now there's this mass furor that if one were to eat American beef, you'll get ***** Ebola and rupture into a pool of blood which your family will drown in which will spell the end of Korea. Right, and how about the English, who have taken over the arrogant title from the US and are so deluded with that "over there" chain of perception that they don't seem to realize that their own ***** nation is rapidly catching up with America on the obese-fat-***** scale. And what about Japan (OK, Japan is awesome, but still).. there in the rockstar-scientists state, turn on a TV. What the ***** is that *****? Their entertainment is even more dumbed down than any American TV could ever manage. So to cut this rant short, what I'm saying is that I'm tired of the generalization we have bought into.. the truth is that if we could slice off a few maniacal ***** regions of the US, we'd have a mighty competent nation.
And that French contestant along with that French audience really was that oblivious, it's not an illusion. Stupidity exists in many different forms, but it also exists in every crevice of our world, no single place has a monopoly on it. - Chainheart, on 07/02/2008, -2/+58To velcro?
- Hudon689, on 06/13/2009, -3/+54it's done on purpose. as in, "but I am le tired".
- jumboshrimp11, on 07/02/2008, -1/+50Was the video really necessary?
- YoWhatDaFuxUp, on 07/01/2008, -4/+50i bet the audience was very high
- kingfoot, on 07/02/2008, -1/+43that... was beautiful :')
- crapmatic, on 07/02/2008, -1/+41Well said, my friend... and I'm not talking about this dude; I'm talking about the audience.
- secaedelcielo, on 07/02/2008, -6/+45you can't read.
it's 56%... they may be stupid, but for someone to misread what's both printed in subtitles AND on the background on the actual program...
wow. - akamurph, on 07/02/2008, -3/+41Is this fake? 56% of the audience said the sun? I hope they were just f'ing with him for being stupid to ask the audience for that answer.
- GoGoPoCoSo, on 07/02/2008, -0/+34never use the 50/50 after you've publicly narrowed it down to 2 possible answers.
- Locke23, on 07/02/2008, -0/+32Well.. take a nap.. THEN FIRE ZE MISSLES!
- Schmich, on 07/01/2008, -6/+36I wouldn't mind the guy answering the sun on his own as you find idiots everywhere. But that over half of those who voted said the sun is unbelievable. Also don't forget that you mainly vote only if you "know" so, most of those 52% were persuaded that it was the sun (as oppose to maybe thinking).
I bet the average age in the audience was very high... - coredump0x01, on 07/02/2008, -0/+28The sun?
- inactive, on 07/02/2008, -5/+32But I'm le tired...
- adidos, on 07/02/2008, -2/+29How did 50% of them coordinate going with The Sun though? What about Mars or Venus?
- rubaaan, on 07/02/2008, -1/+27lmao i think the wife was more embarrassed.
and wtf @ that audience... - InsideRide, on 07/02/2008, -2/+29Le Old
- YoWhatDaFuxUp, on 07/02/2008, -1/+2650/50s are rigged
- theloofa, on 07/02/2008, -1/+25But I am Le Tired...
- kubedawg, on 07/02/2008, -0/+24but that was fake. snopes.com
- Emachine, on 07/02/2008, -4/+27LoL, a moron, and an audience with a sense of humor.
- inactive, on 07/02/2008, -0/+21How about grade 3 science.
- Thrilltone, on 07/02/2008, -4/+25If this had been any older, he would have been judged correct.
- inactive, on 07/01/2008, -0/+19Why would people clap at the word applause meter?
- inactive, on 07/02/2008, -8/+27le idiot makes more sense if you don't know french, which would be the large majority of people on digg.
- ErikHarrison, on 07/01/2008, -3/+22I choose
E.) All of the above. - LBobRife, on 07/02/2008, -0/+19When the center of rotation between two bodies is inside one of the bodies, I think it's safe to say that one revolves around the other.
- dinostabOMG, on 07/02/2008, -6/+23I bet they were messing with him.
- bashar129, on 07/02/2008, -0/+17for the uninformed.
http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/end - inactive, on 07/02/2008, -11/+27French people think they're the center of the universe. Duh.
- Gizza, on 07/02/2008, -1/+17I love how the host always says it's random, but it ALWAYS takes the 2 that they already have eliminated.
- nc60659, on 07/02/2008, -0/+16... We're going to have to euthanize the Moon to get to Mars?
- yoris, on 07/02/2008, -1/+16Actually, you can use "Le idiot" in french if you're really trying to emphasize the fact that this is not just an idiot, but really the worst idiot in the world. In internet capspeak, you'd translate "l'idot" as "the idiot", and "Le idiot" as "THE idiot".
As in, "celui-la, c'est vraiment LE idiot du groupe". -
