[UPDATE] SEGA has let us know that they've contacted the Norwegian newspaper so they can send some Sonic X goodies to Christer, perhaps to ease his woes. Bless.

She's just naturally hot, always has been. It's the nordic genes.

That must be it. My background is Nordic, and I'm definitely not hot. But my sisters are considered attractive. So the deal must be that Nordic women are hot and men aren't. As it should be.

I rather be called Sonic X if I was called Christer lol

I was just thinking that. Is Christer just a regular name in Norway? Like Christopher? If it's not, then yeah... the kid should get a name change.

To answer the OP's question, yes, the Sonic character is very, very popular with little kids around the world. On par with Spongebob, Mickey Mouse, or Mario.
