Will Someone Please Feed His Kidney Stone?

A mistranslation by a French news agency reporting on New Orleans turns out hilarious:

Voiceover: “… Un homme a terre, qui dans un souffle parvient à peine à dire à une équipe de reporters…” [”… a man on the ground, barely manages to tell a team of reporters…”]

Offscreen (in English): “Are you alright?”

Man on the ground (in English): “I got a kidney stone…”

Voiceover (allegedly translating from English): “… qu’il est affamé.” [”… that he is starving.”]

You gotta wonder if stupidity is contagious in NOLA right now. (via Unknown Genius)
