...Americans

It seems as if the world may not hate us so much. Americans were voted the coolest people in the world. 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. Lloyd Price, Badoo's Director of Marketing, said, "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." This may be true and I must agree that America is cool, but should we be #1? Most of our cool is due to European influence and other culture's influences. Also "America" is more than just New York City and Los Angeles and the romanticized Mid West or "The West". Also this mainly focuses on famous Americans, but who is really paying attention anyway right? I, along with others, will take this win. We beat Brazil, and they are very cool and mellow people who live to party and have fun. Yay Americans, Digit Up for us.
