French love the coq

Stuff reports:

During an earnest interview about the flag on the steps of Parliament on Tuesday afternoon, Seymour was talking about the symbols associated with countries.

“You don't actually have to have every logo on the flag,” Seymour said. So far, so sensible.

Then : “The French, for instance, love the coq.”

Seymour immediately realised what he'd said, losing his composure as he burst into hysterics.

Watch the video, it's hilarious.

To be fair to Seymour, others started laughing first, and then he lost his composure.
