"Hungary" for Chuck

From Reuters via ABC News Online:

-------------
The American action hero Chuck Norris is leading a government poll in Hungary that has been set up to find a name for a new bridge in Budapest.

The name "Chuck Norris Bridge" has attracted more than 8,000 votes or 11 per cent of the Internet poll.

It puts the actor just ahead of a Hungarian humorist and the country's first king, Stephen the Great.

A government committee will review the outcome of the poll next month before making a final decision.

Ah, just as I suspected -- the Europeans' love affair with washed-up American stars continues. Next up: A tollroad in Belgium named "Hasselhoff Way."

Come on, Europe... seriously.
