Study reveals that Americans are the coolest people in the world
September 6th, 2011 - 9:35 pm ICT by Aishwarya BhattNew York, Sept 6 (THAINDIAN NEWS) A poll conducted by the social networking site Badoo.com has concluded that despite their current economic woes, Americans are still viewed as the coolest people in the world. The survey was conducted over the Internet and it involved more than 30,000 people from 15 nations.
On the European front, Spanish people were voted the coolest people with Brazil taking the honor for South America. The Director of Marketing of Badoo explained why he believes America got the title.
He told reporters that, “We hear a lot in the media about anti-Americanism. But we sometimes forget how many people across the world consider Americans seriously cool…America 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.”
There were no Asian or African nations in the top ten list of coolest nations. The other countries in the top ten list are Italy, France, Britain, Holland, Mexico, Argentina and Russia.
On the flip side, Belgians came at the worst end of the list closely followed by Poland and Turkey. Canada and Germany were fourth and fifth in the top five list of least cool countries.
