An Akward Moment with Steve Ballmer… in French [video]

By on October 12, 2010

This video is something I think we can all relate too in some fashion.  Steve Ballmer, top guy at Microsoft, is at their European offices to give away some sort of award or something.  Then, in a moment of national pride, the French folks at the event burst out singing their national anthem.  Unfortunately for dear old Steve, he evidently doesn’t know the words to the French national anthem.  (No red-blooded American should, BTW.)  Anyway, at first, Steve bows to peer pressure and tries to sing along but then he just gives up.  It’s sort of fun and painful to watch at the same time.  Enjoy.
