Perhaps it depends on the translation.
We had to read it in French for French class in my sophomore year. I remember being very entertained by it, but some of the satire only made sense in French and in a French context.
For example, my Italian relatives had a lot of fun using idiomatic expressions when I took them literally.

Do I need an Arkansas or an Ebonics translator to make sense of that word scramble? Maybe it’s rap?
Remembering Augustin-Jean Fresnel...
from poster in post 23 : “if your interested”
Sheesh.
Let me guess...
Car show or rap concert?
The Frenchman Dumas is Doom-ah. The arkansas Dumas is Doomu-s.
Dumb-ass?
Do i REALLY need to look?
“It’s hard to imagine a whole group of people involved in something so hateful, but here we are.”

Someo of us did not need to see the photos to understand what the **** happened. Rappers, doncha know
“DOO-MAH. Not, DUM-ASS.”
Being of French descent, I could care less how them Frogs pronounce it. I pronounce it Dum-ASS.
Condolences to family and friends of the innocent victims.
Kind of like Bumpass, VA.
...tried reading Three Musketeers once, and found it too dumb to get past a few chapters...
However it made for a good Classic Comic.
Pronunciation doesn’t mean a whole lot. Ask the people who live in Des Moines, Iowa and compare that to Des Moines, Washington.

They can’t even have a family picnic without someone getting shot.
