U.S. still the ‘coolest,’ Canada still lame: poll
| quote: |
| LONDON — They may be witnessing their global superpower influence decline in the face of challenges from other emerging players on the world stage, but Americans have been voted the world’s “coolest nationality” in an international poll. Social networking site Badoo.com asked 30,000 people across 15 countries to name the coolest nationality and also found that the Spanish were considered the coolest Europeans, Brazilians the coolest Latin Americans and Belgians the globe’s least cool nationality. “We hear a lot in the media about anti-Americanism”, says Lloyd Price, Badoo’s Director of Marketing. “But we sometimes forget how many people across the world consider Americans seriously cool.” Of course, not all Americans are cool far from it. Some like Snoop Dogg, Lady Gaga, Samuel L. Jackson, Johnny Depp and Quentin Tarantino are way cooler than others. Americans, however, are the dudes who invented cool and who still embody it in many fields from music to movies and TV to technology. “America”, says Price, “boasts the world’s coolest leader, Obama; the coolest rappers, Jay-Z and Snoop Dogg; and the coolest man in technology, Steve Jobs of Apple, the man who even made geeks cool.” Brazilians are ranked the second coolest nationality in the Badoo poll and the coolest Latin Americans, ahead of Mexicans and Argentinians. The Spanish, in third place, are the coolest Europeans. The French are voted cooler than the British, and Canadians cooler than the Belgians. This may come as a relief for Canadians, who are sometimes viewed as chronically uncool. Or, as Michael Ignatieff, the Canadian politician, once put it: “Paris, Texas stands as a metaphor for broken dreams; Paris, Saskatchewan just sounds ridiculous.” THE 10 COOLEST NATIONALITIES Americans Brazilians Spanish Italians French British Dutch Mexicans Argentinians Russians FIVE LEAST COOLEST Belgians Poles Turks Canadians Germans |

Yep. A poll from a sampling of 30,000 people from 15 countries is real indicative of how cool Canada is. (we're freaking freezing already!)

Was thinking this looked like one of the "headlines" that pops up on the MSN site when I log out of hotmail.
(edit: National Post, not far off)
Doing a study about being cool makes it uncool lol
The only people who care about being "cool" are usually huge losers.
This poll lacks merit and is deeply flawed. "Cool" is a very general word and not necessarily a good thing, considering the focus of this poll especially. And does this poll include the little nations like Guyana, Niger and San Marino? I can't see how we can be "less cool" than some of those. Is Afghanistan cooler than Canada?
We all know fully well that if you travel around the world as a Canadian, people have a lot of respect for you. Travel in Europe and many people still think Canada is "very cool" from what we did for Europe in World War 2.
This poll is not cool.

Homer: So, I realized that being with my family is more important than being cool.
Bart: Dad, what you just said was powerfully uncool.
Homer: You know what the song says: "It's hip to be square".
Lisa: That song is so lame.
Homer: So lame that it's... cool?
Bart+Lisa: No.
Marge: Am I cool, kids?
Bart+Lisa: No.
Marge: Good. I'm glad. And that's what makes me cool, not caring, right?
Bart+Lisa: No.
Marge: Well, how the hell do you be cool? I feel like we've tried everything here.
Homer: Wait, Marge. Maybe if you're truly cool, you don't need to be told you're cool.
Bart: Well, sure you do.
Lisa: How else would you know?
