Are we supposed to be able to follow what’s going on here? Not having seen the millionaire show, or knowing French, I can’t perceive or comprehend the point or humor of this. Sorry.
Ahahaha, I thought it might be something like that. I thought maybe they were asking about the tidal forces, but getting the *ORBIT* wrong is even more unacceptable.
I know I have heard certain audiences in foreign Millionaire’s pick the wrong answer on purpose to make the person get it wrong…
I am using this logic to assume that is what a lot of people were doing. So my brain doesn’t explode.

Lame. Youtube folds so quickly now, before you can even say “DMCA takedown notice”.

Weird; the video is still up on Google Video, even though both sites are owned by Google:

The humor of it lies in the stupidity of the contestant/audience to figure out whether the moon or the sun orbits the earth.
The contestant gets it wrong. FAIL!

Well, during the Inquisition, that answer would have been acceptable :)
