Thumbs Up to Germans

In a worldwide survey commissioned by FHM magazine, South African men have come out on top as the world's biggest bastards. Australian men took second place and the Americans third, while German men came out as the nicest. NSM Research of Oxford, England, polled readers of FHM, asking them to fill in a questionnaire about their attitudes and ethics at work and play. "It came as no surprise to us that South African men proved to be the world's biggest bastards -- a result they accepted with great pride, ironically," said John Bastick, FHM's Australian editor. "But we were amazed to learn that Australian men came a pretty close second. "We knew that Australian men are great admirers of the female form, but the fact that more than 20 percent would create a website for intimate photos of their 'ex' and a further 20 percent would post them to the parents of the girl, was a revelation."
