Most of the world is not as racist as the coolest nation on earth.

As a (half) Mexican that does make me happy to hear, or at least it would if it was true.

I can't be mad at a study with no merit.

As a PR excercise its admirable I suppose: Yesterday I'd never heard of Badoo, today I have. Still won't make a dent on the almighty Facebook though.

lol canadians are basically the same shit as americans and we get thrown in with those randoms in the 5 least cool.

This. Cross the border. Other than Quebec, you'd be hard pressed to find any tangible differences between Canadians and Americans.
 
List is invalidated because the french are way too high. I can't accept being number 1 when we're so close to the french.
 
Wow, no Asian nations in the top 10.

Math and science are for dorks! We like SPORTS CARS TITTIES!!!

[edit] Actually, I guess that's just Japan. China/Korea/South Pacific don't really do anything cool.
 
Nobody that drinks bagged milk and has their supreme court looking like a bunch of Santa Clauses is cool.

England guy here.

Russia is the coolest in the 'serious' way and their army have good fashion sense.
Australia is the coolest in the 'dude bro' way, I have no idea why they're not in the top 10.

The bottom 5 seems about right, maybe replace Canada with some African country like ethiopia, they're so lame.

Can't handle us rocking so hard?
Deal with the French coolness.

Canadians don't call it Canadian bacon.

We call it back bacon... and it's a very obscure food up here.

So that's actually your bad. An American tragedy.
 
Koreans should be up there. Seems like the Japan-love we had in the 90s is replaced by Korean-love. I see more teens watching K-dramas and listening to k-pop than Japanese stuff nowadays.

I think the list was compiled by bagged milk haters. Anti-bag-ites

Probably. They're only one place behind France and totally demolished Germany. Poor Germany, all that wealth and they still can't buy cool.

Also, note that there are no countries outside of Europe and The Americas unless you are one of those people that count Turkey and Russia as Asian countries.

That's interesting because I noticed a sort of underground trend of people watching Korean shows on Hulu and listening to 2NE1 and other K-pop groups on Youtube around my peers. Weird. I never knew the Korean thing was fully supplanting the Japanese thing (at least on the internet the people that love Japan are still very noticeable).
 
Was there any doubt? Look at the music scenes of other countries, they jock our style like it is going out of business.
 
That top 5 is all kinds of fucked up, and what world do they live in where Turks get 3rd least cool?

Yes, which is why the music scene is so shit nowadays.

You're right. But the further you go south, the more things change. Canada is much different from say, The South, southern California, and especially Hawaii.

Those are reasons to think America sucks.

You wish "the world" recognized the subtle qualities of American style. Tragically, those are the reasons the world likes America.

They like the "fantasy America" of Transformers, Lady Gaga, 2Pac, Gears of War, Disneyland.

Trust me, it isn't because of your carefree attitude..... it's because "Paris Hilton I saw her on TV once".

Same with any country, the south is much different from the north.
 
List should be reversed. Turks and Canadians are among the coolest. Americans should be down there with Germany.
 
I'm going to Russia this year and I've heard that Russian women think that American men are attractive and awesome. This true Russia-GAF? I want this to be true.
