    For a million dollars, can you correctly pronounce Achilles?

    "Wheel of Fortune" contestant Julian from Indiana University could not, and became a viral sensation Friday when he embarrassingly bungled several seemingly easy answers. For his effort, he lost $1 million and a car in the process.

    In one game, Julian had guessed every letter and had attempted to solve the puzzle for "Mythological Hero Achilles."

    Unfortunately, Julian pronounced "Achilles" "A-chill-us" and lost the money.

    I don't want to go the direction of calling this dude a dumbass and risk being branded a racist. Maybe the Rainbow Coalition and Al Sharpton will investigate this obviously staged event to embarrass and highlight how African Americans are being denied the same type of education Caucasians would receive in the formative years. It's just not fair that white woman knew the correct pronunciation.​
