Drupal featured on TV quiz
According to Jo Wouters, Drupal was just featured on "De Canvascrack", a quiz on Belgian television. I know it is a quiz, but I don't think Drupal has ever been featured on television in such a mainstream way. Cool!
The question on the TV screen is in Dutch but reads: What was used to build The White House's site?. Picture taken by Jo Wouters.
So did the contestant get it right?

September 8, 2010 - 22:15Awesome! Did he nail the question though?
September 8, 2010 - 22:27Question is did he get it right or not?!
September 8, 2010 - 23:13Cool!
September 8, 2010 - 23:43What is even nicer is that the correct answer is Drupal.
September 8, 2010 - 23:51Yes, the guy got it correct.
Question was: "What was used to build The White House's site?"
September 9, 2010 - 01:28He could chose between 3 possible answers: Drupal, Flickr, Safari and correctly chose Drupal. A second contestant also knew it was Drupal.
That is awesome! I don't think they would never ask that on an American TV show... for obvious reasons...
September 9, 2010 - 02:53Fun fact: Canvas, the tv station broadcasting this quiz, also uses Drupal for one of its subsites: http://labo.canvas.be
September 9, 2010 - 11:05I wathced it. He got it right but admitted he had no idea. :)
Best quiz show ever though.
September 9, 2010 - 12:01This is such a monumental achievement for Drupal.
September 9, 2010 - 12:39Correct answer: TAX PAYER'S MONEY
September 9, 2010 - 12:50Man!
I'm already considered an out of control zealot for Drupal. When I go sharing this story I'm going to get some negative feedback! That is what happened when I showed pictures of the Drupal bicycle. Some comments were, "People will star thinking you're a cult!"
Oh well.... I can't stop blowing this horn!
Isn't it sad that some ppl are really really genuinely angry about the press and attention and hoopla surrounding the Drupal community and project?

September 11, 2010 - 14:51Drupal was also an answer of a multi-choice question in a New Zealand newspaper daily quiz the other day.
