You mean you couldnt go point by point, right?

Just respond by saying "yeah, its obviously here as a joke and shouldnt try to be representative of France as a whole".

Also, wasnt the woman with the elephant/moon question proven to be a photoshop somewhere, as kinda proven by the fact its a picture and not a video.

A, At least they can articulate a sentence, i mean the guy was wrong, but at least he didnt utter complete gibberish for 20 seconds

[/ QUOTE ]

so at least the french are efficient in their idiocy?

B, Most of the audience probably picked the wrong answer on purpose, i know i would have

[/ QUOTE ]

ummm no. this is what my little brother says. unfortunately, the audience is housewives. which leads us to

C, Whilst you could argue 58% of the audience of WWTBAM got it wrong, they are clearly not a representative sample and probably represents the bottom 5% of the countries intelligence

I'd actually say that people that can take the time from their day to go to a taping like this, most people dressed nicely, and interested in this show, have at least a general education, and I'd wager are smarter than average. Granted, there are probably no scholars in the audience, but its not exactly homeless retards.

D, All of mankind thought that for most of its history

[/ QUOTE ]

wow. yeah but nobody in the audience was alive when this was the belief.

E, That question is harder than picking your country out on a map of the world

[/ QUOTE ]

I disagree. maps are not intuitive. also, it was only 20%. 58% of the people [censored] this up. also, who knows where they got this 20% figure. obviously not being able to pick out the US is sad, but an unmarked map can be confusing. for a more difficult challenge, try one of those state placement on a blank map games. you think you know where states are, but when its blank, its tough.

F, If i look through all American TV gameshows im sure i could find dumber examples

I'm sure you could. On WWTBAM though, I've seen Americans get things wrong, but not one this easy.
