Cool Americans

From Yahoo Canada:

"The world still thinks Americans are "coolest": poll"

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 (http://www.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." Americans, however, are the dudes who invented cool and who still embody it in many fields from music to movies and TV to technology.

THE 10 COOLEST NATIONALITIES:

1. Americans

2. Brazilians

3. Spanish

4. Italians

5. French

6. British

2. Poles

3. Turks

4. Canadians

5. Germans

^ Go US! I agree that while many people around the world like to talk trash about Americans most of that is due to resentment that they aren't us. We are the world's only super power and have led the world in terms of music, movies, military, inventions, medicine, etc for the past 60 years. Unfortunately, I am also Canadian and so am considered the 4th least coolest just above the Germans - although many Americans pretend they are Canadian when they travel so people don't treat them badly. ^
