The British tabloid The Sun (http://\"http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,5-2005540481,00.html\") with a list of rotten answers from TV and radio.

Funny--but does Family Fortunes have some sort of non-survey portion?

("Name the capital of France." "Paris." *buzz buzz* "Try again." "... ... ...")

EDIT: I fixed a verb.

Therefore they MUST be true!

As Robert astutely pointed out, the Paris/France one couldn't have possibly come from Family Fortunes, and chances are a lot of others aren't real either.  Funny, but not real, which is kinda iffy journalism, even for The Sun.

Not to mention the questions about the Taj Mahal and Hitler's first name.

In fact, most of those questions about "Family Fortunes" have been floating around for years, even attributed to "Family Feud," without bothering to change "Name a famous Royal" to how we'd ask it here--"Name a member of the British Royal Family."

Gotta admit--have a fondness for "Name a long-necked bird--Naomi Campbell."  And if that "Extras" ep had any basis in truth, Les Dennis more than appreciates the plug.
