They should have had you as the contestant, Kal!

Not know who Viggo is indeed. Hmmmmmpppppphhhhhh!

Me as a contestant? I'm a dimwit. But on that question I could have netted me $8K. Wink

My kids too! Laughing

I have no concerns on whether or not a certain gentleman doesn't know who Viggo is. But anyone who didn't know before is surely getting the message that they now should know eh? Twisted Evil

For those who do know, we are just having a great time recognizing a little PR on behalf of our favourite actor. It's all relative, n'est-ce pas? Cool

Yes, it's strange that there are still people who don't know Viggo. Even my own mother is far behind! She still likes the elder actors/actress but she has recently discovered Bruce Willis. She has seen some of Viggos movies together with me. If I tell her that it's the man driving around in an old bus and selling clothes in "AWOTM" then she remembers him. I think she likes George Clooney but Viggo hasn't become her favourite actor yet.

I sometimes hear questions in Danish quizz' about Viggo. Some pepple know the answer to the questions other don't.

Being a household name is being a movie star and sounds so cheesy. I prefer hearing that not everyone knows Viggo. Yet! Cool

I think my mother prefers East Clintwood (read: Clint Eastwood). My mother often changes his name.

Ha Vigs! My mother does that too. She claims to like to music of John Eldon (aka as Elton John) LOL Laughing

Over the years standing in check-out lines at the supermarket I have noticed an evolvement of the kinds of tabloids and magazines that are in the stands. Most magazines nowadays are health-related, environmentally focused and parenting magazines. These are the kinds of things that I would notice or pick up. Yes there's a couple of the types heralding the latest on 'Brangelina' but The Enquirer and The Star are pretty much a thing of the past at least in the places where I shop. And to me that says a lot about today's consumer and what is uppermost in the minds of people. If a magazine article on a buck-naked actor were to appear it would likely be about the taboos we are hopefully getting past and how films and art are also changing. Canada's Bill C-10 be damned!

Vigs, I think I would like your mother. East Clintwood! Laughing

My grandmother used to call one of the Beatles John Lemmon. Oooh I used to get so insulted by that. Now I think it was cute of her that she knew who she was talking about. bounce
