Not in support of this hypothesis is the inclusion of Denmark in the survey, all of Scandinavia is decisively anti-intellectual!

Not in support of this hypothesis is the fact that mood-altering medicines must be prescription only is most European countries (certainly in Denmark) and that advertising prescription medicine is not allowed. Thus, a market survey for psychotropics would be of little use...

And what products is this "Snuggle" company selling? I found some "Snuggle" on the web that appeared to be for washing clothes...

From the article:

The French population was found to laugh 20 percent less than the average of other countries.
I'm sure I'd laugh at least 20% less if I came from the same country and Lacan and had Chirac as my president.

Shedding tears is more common in Greece than elsewhere in Europe.
I'm also sure I'd shed far more tears than I do if I lived in Europe's most racistic and immigration-hostile country.

Denmark, Italy, France, the Netherlands, Spain and Greece were mentioned in the article. Do you know which were the remaining two countries?
Was Sweden in this survey? Or didn't they investigate anything related to boredom?
