Who wants to be Miss South Carolina?

[OFFICIALreaper5]

Ok, good. He said south carolina.. Not the entire south...

[mortrek]

Technically the moon is the better answer. Still, two bodies technically orbit a point between them. One does not really orbit another.

[thISxTHplacE]

LOL!!!! "Copernicus is turning in his grave." I choked on my coffee when I read that. hahaha

[hunchbacked]

You are mocking at him because you have been told the answer, but I'm sure that in his place you would have hesitated too.

Personally, I confess I would have hesitated too and required the assistance's help, for I would have wanted to be sure to give the right answer.

In fact he would have been dumb if he had not followed the audience's suggestion, for what's the point of requiring the audience's help if it is not fo follow her advice?

Come on, admit he is very intelligent!

[hunchbacked]

Miss South Carolina is more cute!

In fact it's more than 56%, for it's France's elite who attends this game!

I think that 99% of Frenchmen think that the sun orbits the earth and that the earth orbits the moon.

Besides, I believe it too!

Isn't it true?

[hunchbacked]

Anyway, only the stupidest people go attend this game, for who would like to lose his time attending this stupid game?

[beezfromca]

WTF 1500 euro for this question

[gimlileskateur]

maybe french people are dumb....

but WE FRENCH did NOT voted TWICE for GWB.

[youkoffie]

ha ha ha

[INTESTINS]

Thats french from france for u, us Canadien french are much smarter

[teh1337meister]

Yeah but the French eat snails and frogs legs so how much sense do you expect them to have! JK ;)

[MrCanadiaEH]

Audience: "Wow he doesn't even know the answer! Hey dude, if he uses ask the audience, vote B. Pass it on!"

[maxxoccupancy]

He still won 1500 euros!!! WTF!!! How much is that in dollars?!

It's way too much for this bafoon, I can tell you that!

[teh1337meister]

@maxxoccupancy Bit over $2000, quite a lot!

[coltsuperocean10]

Imagine if that same question was in an American version of the show, you can see it now!! Some red neck retard in the hot seat, lets call him "Chuck"!! "So Chuck, what revolves around the Earth?" Chuck thinks for a few minutes and then answers "McDonalds!!" ..."Cos the cow jumped over the moon"

[PlatoCantRepent]

Technically they both rotate around their barycenter.

[ionyou]

@PlatoCantRepent Technically you have the reading comprehension skills of a toad because the question isn't about their rotations, it's specifically about their orbits.

[PlatoCantRepent]

Technically their barycenter orbits.

[filthynumber1]

@PlatoCantRepent whats the barycenter?

[Imrankniazi]

Breaking news-

"Copernicus commits suicide in his grave"

But seriously, it could have been a silent group decision by the audience to fuck him up for being so stupid. Surprising that such a large number thought on the same lines.

[jparkss15]

@Imrankniazi They're French. Of course they're going to be rude to people! At least their food is good. Oh, wait, never mind. Well, they sure put up a fight in WWII! No, that's wrong... Their mustaches... Damn it. Uhh... Smoking regulatons? No. Ah, shit... Their hats. Their hats are funny. Final answer.

[zainekh4n]

LOL.

[rolexx]

Idiot French. Man their whole country is full of morons.

[BottleGuy09]

Yes Mike, the Americans are obviously more "dump" than the French.

[Solinus]

them frenchies is real smart-like!

[psovegeta]

It's not a question of a frame of reference because things are not always as they seem. For a long time people thought the world was flat when it is round. Now if it was a matter of "do you think the world is messed up?", then frame of reference would be the issue.

[hiddeninja]

...wow how can u be that stupid

[panzerny]

this question is pointless , as everything is relative to the frame of reference, and no frame of reference is inferior or superior. If I decide that my balls are my frame and all the universe rotates around it ...then it is so. If i decide that in my frame Earth is stationary and the sun circles the earth...then there is nothing wrong with it.

[melanieinuyasha]

Except that's not how it happens. Your balls don't have an orbit and I'm almost certain that nothing has ever been drawn to them.

[Surhotchaperchlorome]

This video:

to all the people who say, "Americans are dumb".

[GuitaristsKiller]

Well said!

[widemouthcannibal]

56% of french people believe the sun revolves around the earth?! that's it, you can never call americans dumb ever again. fuckin french.

[mikeorgore]

...56% of people in the audience not of the all the french.

and americans are still dump.

[paddyv10]

Actually, you should translate "gravite" as REVOLVE not ROTATE. A body rotates [spins about its axis] on its own but revolves around another body. The sun doesn't rotate around the earth. But neither does the moon! Learn the correct terminology before you go dissing people, zorangrbic.

[b1420682]

Absolutely pathetic! Get a life.

[melanieinuyasha]

Pathetic is knowing the meaning to words before you use them?

[antishmeta21]

stupid french

[TlGBC]

lmao "copernicus is turning in his grave"

[Santiagoaero]

lmfao.

[brosdaturbigh]

HAHAHAHAHA....we Italians don't have to be proud anyway because during a casting for our "big brother" a guy answered "the sun rotates INTO the earth"!!!!!!

[LEONSKENNEDY91]

hahaha

[namasayasimo]

hahahahahahahahhahaha

[DinaCardillo]

Wait if he still gets 1500€, that was not the first question!

[j1mmyarts]

thats just even worse xD

it means they still have easy questions in the second part haha xD

[GearsCrazy93]

HHAHA the music makes the scene soo dramatic and full of LOL!!

[cookiebella512]

haha, lets not blame the audience, what about the guy that actually felt the need to ask the audience

[melanieinuyasha]

...and they didn't know. 56% of them did not know.

[Flagrunner]

The contestant is undeniably stupid, but to be fair to the French people, it's usually concluded that the audience was deliberately misleading him because he was THAT DUMB.

[Chnamanjx]

@Flagrunner dey's trollin'?

[McLarenMercedes]

@Flagrunner

yeah, I'd push the button with the option "Mars orbits the Earth" and try to keep a straight face

[hunchbacked]

@Flagrunner

No, he is extremely bright, astoundingly bright.

Most Frenchmen wouldn't even have understood the question.

[mr95man]

omfg! please god don't let this be serioues!

[oktoberfest124]

and they say americans are dumb! lol = )

[oktoberfest124]

also 2% think its mars lol

[acidcrashguy]

Copernicus was the first may be in the western hemisphere. In India for thousands of years, people have known not only about the earth revolving around the sun but other planets like Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury and Venus. Oh and yeah no one was burned, they were all respected scholars in society back then.

[ChangFromUS]

56 percent of french people never toook a science class in their life.

[Chirox82]

56% of French people thought the guy was a flipping idiot and decided to fuck with him :)

[stststuttering]

too much hate on this video.

a guy screwed up a question about the moon,

nothing to do with war.

[mella70]

i think that 56% were just doing it on purpose

[Sumuois]

Please stop judging ppl. Just because they don't know something common doesn't mean they are dumber than you.

[d0ntg3tk03d]

i know plus id choke infront of the country i gaurntee it.

[YipekiyayMotherFuker]

Miss South Carolina? I don't get it.

[nycvia83]

I am french and I think people on the show misunderstood the question. Or they are becoming americans.

I add something to clarify what's been said previously :

We don't hate England, it's just that there's a cultural gap between us since centuries.

We don't hate the US, just their food. But we are fond of their movies, music...

And seriously does anyone think Russia is welcoming ? I'm talking bout the country not the people.

And I agree with the fact that people in Paris are rude.

[libertarianjury]

Awesome displays of ignorance. Thanks!

[kacu80]

I think before WW2 France and UK wrote with Poland some pact to protect their self if Germans attack some of them. When Germany attack Poland at first time France and UK was scared so dont tell me that England save France from Hitler.

[wiggy1988]

The British and French signed an accord protecting Polands independence. When Germany invaded Poland in 1939 Britain and France declared war...a great shock to Hitler who believed they would back down.

Despite British and Polish pressure to attack Germany from the West and help relieve Poland the French high command refused to move troops from the Maginot line thus dooming Poland. When the Germany invaded and the French line collapsed the British withdrew at Dunkirk

the end (in brief)

[kacu80]

Yes, but they ONLY DECLARED WAR, lets just say "in paper". Until Germans start attack them they was doing nothink to "protect only their own asses". Yes - in the future all this countries was in war witgh Germany togehter but at start war it was different.

[xMiOsEx]

they did... england saved France... why I really dont know

[PlatoCantRepent]

Because France was an excellent airstrip to use for bombing London.

[SCorpse123]

idiot

[firestormiv]

My grandparents MIGHT have got that question wrong. They went to a small rural school where the teachers were nuns, and I know they taught them a bunch of crap about what makes seasons, so I wouldn't be surprised if they also taught geocentrism.

[Zoralechat]

And the world rotates around me...no seriously, I love when you write "copernicus is turning in his grave"

[CaitlynRobotallian]

The Earth rotates around the Sun, the Moon rotates around the Earth.

[evildrome]

Well, I'm not American and I don't live in America. I have however visited Paris and it is the Gods honest truth, Parisians are ignorant, rude, b*stards. I was told by a guy from the Arbois that the Parisians hate everyone, especially French non-Parisians. Londoners are no better but at least the smell in the London Underground is almost bearable. And the streets aren't covered in dog muck.

Thats what I'm talking about. In any other country you pick up after your dog but oh no, not in Paris.

[ValentinPackers]

In Paris we don't because we pay huge taxes for people to do it...

[killerfish345]

If the question is what orbits around the earth, why is the word gravity in it?

[kylejones7]

"what gravitates around the earth"

[combo879]

OMG

[Kiranja]

The worst thing is that he still won money! Meaning he passed one security level before getting this question.

[CaptainRED99]

whats a sun?

[psgman41]

La très grande majorité des français, tout comme les amerlocs, les britishs, les canadiens, etc.. , SONT DES DÉBILES PROFONDS. On vit dans une société où les avancées technologiques remplacent les efforts intellectuels... Franchement, le soleil qui tourne autours de la terre.... mais on apprend ça à des enfants de 2 ans.............

[bennude10]

I don't think a 2 year old would understand that question. Maybe, but I doubt it.

I like TheRisingRedDragon's answer to this coincidence and situation, it makes more sense that way, haha.

[bennude10]

I'm not too stunned at the contestant, I'm more stunned at 56% of the French audience answering ``The Sun`` thinking that it rotates around the earth. Also the 2% saying Mars? Come on.

[kylejones7]

so much for secular france :S.... :(

[Devereux2]

The question was misinterpret. People thought it meant "what attracks the earth with gravity" they had a show about this question.... It was a big deal because they compared us with Americans !!! Yuck... So yeah the answer was itself confusing.

[bennude10]

I figured that's what the reason was.

[aguywholikespie]

your probably right but was saying yuck after american needed,seriously

[Devereux2]

Yeah I think I over did it.... But I mean don't take it personal I don't like when people compare us with anyone... Not just Americans..... I think that's just French pride... Oh well + we don't look like Americans anyway , we are charming and lovely =P LOL j/k

[evildrome]

I'm sorry.. "charming and lovely"?. Try visiting Paris. "Rude and ignorant" I think you'll find are the adjectives you'll be using. *LEARN TO QUEUE* you ignorant Eurotrash.

[Devereux2]

I live in Paris sir. And let's not forget that the people staying in Europe were not "trash". The people that left thought were. Like say the guys who went to the Americas. Like say maybe "your ancesters :D. So get information before you speak nonsense.

[ValentinPackers]

The word you were trying to say is "arogant" not "ignorant". And it was a joke anyway... Don't you have humour in your country? Seriously, why people get upset...?

[evildrome]

Yes, OK. In this context the two are interchangeable.  We do have humour. I think its tremendously humorous to poke fun at Parisians :)

[ValentinPackers]

I make fun of parisians too, and fench people with teh stereotypes, but we are not all like that.

[tyrehd]

i know a guy born and raised in paris and he said the people there are rude and arogent assholes

the US, england, and russia saved their asses in WW2 yet they still hate us all

douches

[sivaband]

quel branleur sourd-muet foutu

[ToutCQJM]

This is just too much. Copernicus must be rotating in his grave!

[TheRisingRedDragon]

There's a big difference between American and European 'who wants to be a millionaire'. In America, people try to help out the contestant. Meanwhile, in Europe, when the contestant is a dumbf*ck, they make fun of him most of the time. They all answered the Sun, since that guy was ready to believe anything.

[kylejones7]

lol, thats pretty funny.

[tonybelf]

cmon ,nobody understand that the crowd is making fun of that idiot ?

[tsuchiya86]

This is because us the French people we are so egocentric, so some of us think we are the center of the solar system. Like our stupid president who think he's the king of the world.

[0killthebatman0]

god fucking damn it france

god fucking damn it

[Gibson4ever22]

i have to say, miss SC is pretty stupid

[PoMu4]

Venus ? lol

[12elza12]

i don't believe that 56% of french don't know what revolves around the earth

and i'm not french by the way

[egocentress]

wait a second..he won something??? that was one of their harder questions? Wow.......

[Kiwinator1101]

autsch...

56% vote for the sun...

And what have they made when they had school?

[tsuchiya86]

we sleep of course!

Excuse me i'm french and i don't know what is the sun, it is a newspaper???

[eemaegs123]

oh dear.

and i never understood that miss carolina thing. (i missed everything the actuall question- let me off i'm british [: )

[egocentress]

You can't understand it because what she says is incomprehensible....

[QuebecMovie]

Ah ah mes calices de français frais chier qui insulte le Québec comme quoi on est moins cultiver que vous. C'est la preuve que vous penser que tout gravite autour de vous et que vous êtes le centre de l'univers, mais au fond vous êtes juste une ostie d'imbéciles qui pensent tout connaître, mais qui au fond ne savent rien.

C'est la preuve que 56 % des français de France sont stupides.

[tsuchiya86]

Salut camarade de la belle province, c'est pas une nouveauté que la majorité des français sont cons!!! Vous plaignez pas vous avez pas a vivre avec eux toute l'année, ou subir leurs colonialisme depuis des centaines d'années!

[cozyy3]

i'm french.

and i can tell you that the ppl who go to that show are dumbasses.

please don't go stereotyping french because of a stupid show.

[Ragouel1991]

HOLLY FUCK! Indeed Copernicus is rotating in his grave lol

[kalmindon]

the stupid idea is to think that this audience represents french people.

[thescorpionm]

2% mars , LOL

[silentsoliloquy82]

Hanterkant, you make perfect sense.

[eepruls]

The correct word is 'revolve' around the earth, not rotate.

[rogerpenna]

actually, the literal translation would be "gravitates" around the Earth.

[RookeEvans]

what the,.. i personally cannot believe that half of the french audience thinks that the sun revolves around the Earth.. lol.

[DJDorianGray]

Man, I can't believe more than half of the audience said the sun. Should go back to school

[hanterkant]

Before laughing, try to answer the question: What could have answered American people?

See also a show where an American girl said she believed Europe was a country. And the famous question to Miss Teen South Calif. : it seems that 20% of Americans are unable to locate their beloved country on a map.

Everywhere you find dummies. The error comes when you say "Frenches" are like this, or "Americans" are like that.

[arale345]

thanks god im from south america, perphaps im from a poor country, but, we are smarter than them ...

thanks you karma!!!

[rogerpenna]

no, we are not.

[joeychestnut1776]

French people are so stupid !

[F22DarkRaptor]

No all humans...

[EdgeStormcrow]

The question is a reletivistic one. Technically you could rightly answer anyone of them.

[drftg536]

No you can't.

[peacefulman123]

Another dumb person

[EdugeBDroN]

That is complete Non sense ........dont even try to compare French and US education system.......... US is way behind otherwise noone would by all that BS about axis of evil and other "they hate our way of life" crap

[Noodle52]

stupid french!!!

no offense to any smart french out there

[MonkeyOctober]

Sad part is,I'm taking french and I got the answer right xD

[lalali2323]

oooh gosh poor copernicus

people really should watch more discovery channel now . oh wait ; even discovery

never warn us that THE MOON REVOLVES AROUND THE EARTH -____- zzzz joshing . france oh france

[Philippe922]

It's only true for the Solar System, not for the universe..

[monechee]

Copernicus was the FIRST European to discover that =P

[steph9917]

Wow,it's the moon,besides,the sun is 99% of the universe(Or galaxy?)everything else is 1,there's no way that can be true.

[steph9917]

And besides,South Carolina is too stupid to answer that,if she's in college,i'll be mocking her my whole life,how'd she get there?

[Tashadow123]

woah wtf our sun??? 99% of the universe 0.o ok you seriously need to go learn a few facts about space XD our sun is barely 00.1% of our galaxy XD there are hundreds maybe thousands of suns in our galaxy i don't even want to know the number of suns in all the galaxies put together 0.0 XD Sorry but I had to correct that

[steph9917]

Stupid.

-___-'YOU need to learn YOUR facts,because the Sun,it's bigger than the whole universe.

Everything else IS 1%.

Now,if you put everything from space to compare size to the sun together.....it STILL equals 0.Learn to shut up,and if you know you're wrong,shut the **** up.

[Tashadow123]

So if our sun is taking up the whole universe 0.o then where are all the other suns out in other galaxies and solar systems? Answer me that XD :P

[steph9917]

I mean OUR Sun,stupid.-___-'Can't you listen?

[Tashadow123]

Yes but you are still saying 'OUR' sun is as big as the universe...have you seen the size of the universe? XD it's pretty big

[steph9917]

-___-'I meant the things IN the universe.

When I meant the 'other' sun for other planets,I meant if they were combined all together and everything else in the universe.

Stop replying,it's getting stupid trying to prove me wrong.

[Tashadow123]

XD lawl I can't leave you thinking that...so if everything in the universe takes up all the space in the universe then there would be no space...I mean, everything in the universe can't fill up the whole universe or all the planets would be touching...all the planets in our solar system would be touching the sun...therefore melting and producing lava and dude you seriously need to go learn hehe

[steph9917]

-___-'I don't mean EVERYTHING.'Everything',

such as the asteroids,planets,all that I mean,not the background.And second,I wasn't saying that the sun had to be touched,I meant to experiment size.

Hey,you replied.I SAID STOP!

[Tashadow123]

XD If you really didn't want me to reply, you wouldn't have posted another message for me to reply to :D Ok I don't get what you mean now so you're saying that "not everything" is taking up the whole universe 0.o then where is the rest of the "everything"?

[steph9917]

You said that everything takes up the space,then there would be no space.What I meant,is that I mean,like the planets,that's all.

[Tashadow123]

This comment makes no sense, now you're saying that all the planets take up the whole universe...how can that be possible...there would be no room for suns stars asteroids 0.o

[steph9917]

When did I say that the planets take the space?I said"What I mean,is that if you compared the size of the 'planets.",that's what I specificly meant.

[Tashadow123]

Ok let's start over I will forget everything you have said before, now just tell me your point in the most simplest way...

[steph9917]

Ok then,all I'm saying is you can't compare everything in the galaxy put together to compare size to the sun.That's all I'm saying.

By the way,can we be friends,even though we had a little wager.^^

[sadhukar]

I dont usually comment on things that happened a year ago, but you both are such big tools namely for the -___- and XD's

what are you, women?

[melanieinuyasha]

I resent that.

[SugarCoatedPills]

Ha Ha ha... Its hilarious.... I laughed my organs out...That guy must have said to himself " Oh ! God I thought its only me who's the dumbest, But no there are others as well"

[LlamaZruleZ]

wow and I thought americans were stupid!!! the whole crowd is stupid not just that one guy wow!

[shorts]

they screwed that guy over so bad

ahaha

best audience

[elarbol04]

this is sad

[amroos21]

dude is that real???

[midnightoil1]

Nah i think its more like 56% of French people know how to take this piss out of someone really well.. and actually try to punish stupidity...

[futuristique]

the audience was just fucking with him cause he's so obviously stupid.

[kalle3500]

this is a typical example of the fact that some people dont get sarcasm. if that dummy asked for help with such a stupid question, would you really help him out or just try to fool him? cause he totally doesnt deserve the money. and im not french.

[1021207]

Wow, 56% of the French audience voted for 'B' The Sun rotates around the Earth.

Well Americans can't talk, They voted for Bush, Twice! The second time after Fahrenheit 9/11

[disarm3317]

yeah because that movie was not biased or propagated in any way.

[poliged93]

hello my name is giovanni, I am italian and wallyzzz2jp is a very idiot person!

he like such penis and he is gay! he is stupid,stupid,stupid! you must kill he!hahaha

[poliged93]

hahaha scusa ma ho letto solo adesso i commenti di mia cugina!!!

GRANDEEEEE GIULIAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

GRANDEEEEEE GIULIAAAAAAAAA!

GRANDE GIULIAAAAAAAAAAAA!

HAHAHAHAH scrivi quello ke te pare!FROCIO DI MERDA SUKKIAA KAZZI

[poliged93]

hahaha<aahaha sti francesi deficenti nn sanno manco che la luna ruota intorno alla terra!!!!hahahahahahahahahahaa­ha

stamo nel 1200 aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

[wallyzzz2jp]

ahahah che ridere che fai, sei proprio simpatico!! ridiamo tutti insieme per giovanni il succhiacazzi, bravooo

[GNFilm]

Haha. Wow.

[jdmikeg4]

I don't personally believe that the Miss South Carolina would have answered that question, because her specialty is geography, like such as, South Africa, and other nations, who don't have revolves, so that our future like such as, can have maps for our children, to learn about the earth, and Osama's future.

[Jugglenerd]

"Copernicus is turning in his grave" lol

[MonkeyOctober]

Miss South Caroline vs. The French

"this is the ultimate showdown,of ultimate destiny!!"

[dragonlancefire]

Look if I was on that show I would have put the Sun too, if you're that dumb you're not getting far and let's keep the show moving.

[YouSunkMyFishy]

I think the people voted "The Sun" because they found it funny he thought it might be the sun, and wanted to mess with his head.

[CEDRICKB]

uh... 56% french think it is the sun? ... fortunately the audience of that crap show is not 100% of all the population in France....

[ProNetal]

And 21% of the Americans believe the same (check Gallup July 6, 1999, YouTube won't allow links in comments). Shame on the French!
