UN questionnaire

A world survey recently conducted by the UN posed the following question:

"Could you please give us your opinion about the food shortage in the rest of the world?"

This was a huge failure due to the following reasons:

In Africa, no one knows what "food" is.
In Western Europe, no one knows what "shortage" is.
In Eastern Europe no one knows what "opinion" is.
In South America no one knows what "please" means.
In the US no one knows what "rest of the world" means.
