Kameo is now planning to upgrade the pillow by producing different models, including a muscular one. And the company is also working on the prototype for a fake female lap shaped pillow targeting male users.

From the article: Quote: |
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. Quote: |
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?

The survey shatters the stereotype of 'cold' Danes and sensual southern Europeans.
| Women: this is a quote for you. Dont believe that lie. Europe? Bah! Sensual people live under the equator line. If you want a real hugger, call me
I know not why the worry with the research itself. It is funny, and it tries to break the habit of classifiying them as cold. And it is really something to think about, no matter which side of the globe you are.
I like to be hugged, btw. Can I have a hug?  |

And in another article Belgium is mentioned as well. I don't know the 8th country.
Edit: I think the last country would be Hungary, but that is deducted from viewing a rather unfocused image. |

Seriously, there was a real scientific study of nationality stereotypes a while ago but that's another story. Quote: |

Denmark
Netherlands
Belgium
France
Italy
Spain
Greece
possibly Hungary
and variables were
hugging
singing
dancing
laughing
crying
Laundry detergents sounds even more fat fetched than DN:s and DW:s suggestions...unless they have added some herbal mood alternation substances as a perfume to this seemingly horrible Snuggle stuff: www.snuggle.com
PS Doesn't the first image make you all think of Xan
EDIT: dammit I am only allowed to use 10 smiles

Stay back Xan, don't even think about it.
And of course, you too DN, since you're probably one to capitalise on my back being turned. |
