FAMILY FEUD Answers Shock Host And Contestants

I saw this video posted by a friend on FB yesterday under the headline "a sign of progress".  That could be true given the shocking answer host Steve Harvey gets from the question "name something that gets passed around."  While Harvey is shocked by the first contestants answer, he is even more shocked by what happens when he reveals what the "survey says".

I've always had questions about these mysterious groups of 100 people surveyed.  I'd heard that the standard practice was they used to ask these questions of the studio audience before the show started, which would make sense.  But Harvey references going out to malls in middle America.  If that is true, then this is definitely a small sign of cultural progress away from organized religion and towards unorganized, uh....recreation.
