Maybe they were going for a phonetic attention grabber, to make it seem like Inspector Cluseau was saying it.

TORONTO, Ontario, Cape Verde, Jun 26, 2005 (United Press International via COMTEX) -- One in three Canadians, who have read the novel "The Da Vinci Code," believe there are descendants of Jesus alive today, a survey found.
They also believe a secret society exists dedicated to keeping Jesus' bloodline a secret, according to a National Geographic Channel poll.
The survey, conducted by Decima Research Inc., of 1,005 Canadian adults was commissioned by cable's National Geographic Channel.
"Dan Brown's thriller was such a phenomenal success because readers felt they were being let in on an explosive historical secret," said Vanessa Case, vice president of programming of National Geographic Channel and Life Network. "It is obvious that 'The Da Vinci Code' has had a huge impact on Canadians and their beliefs."
Nearly one in five Canadians have read "The Da Vinci Code."

I also find it amazing that one in five Canadians has read this book. I hope to God (and His living descendants) that there are fewer Canadians than I think there are.
