The Netherlands Love Granmda
I have to get this out there because I'm dying to know. The international response to Grandma has been wonderful. We've had thousands of hits from each continent except Antarctica, but their search engines are really hard to list.
One country stands out. The Netherlands.
Our usual rank order of country has consitently been:
1. United States
2. The Netherlands
3. Canada
4. UK
5. Sweden
6. Germany
7. Australia
...then the rest of our country's graph fluctuates from day to day. But why The Netherlands? This covers a 24 hour period, even when set to different time zones. Most often they have no referring link and a unique IP address and ISP, so it's a bunch of people. Many send us e-mails saying "Grandma is the Shit!" When Grandma and I discussed this she had this to say:
Grandma- "The Netherlands??"
Me- "Netherlands!!"
Grandma- "Why?"
Me- "I don't know!"
Grandma- "I hear it's pretty there."
Me- "Never been."
Grandma- "Why The Netherlands??"
Europe has a pretty intense gaming culture. It would make sense that they also have a whole slew of gaming grandmas, each swearing at PAL television sets in their respective language. Grandma seems to be really liked in most countries of Europe, but Netherlands offsets my whole US-Canada-UK-Australia prediction. I don't understand. It's fantastic, but I don't fucking get it.
Please help me.

There can be only one explanation.
1. In The Netherlands, they are very happy for one reason or another. They hold celebrations.
2. They smoke cigarettes at said celebrations. Many get cancer.
3. Those who do not get cancer accidentally light fireworks at celebrations from being happy over not having cancer; subsequently die.
I like the Netherlands, Mama! Thanks!

Haha, you're a silly bitch, ctrlaltdelete.
This is quite a strange phenomenon.
Possibly many are into "Hardcore Grandmother's" and they also like video games. They then find this site and are in heaven. Why? Because they love grandmother's. And they love video games. And when the two come together, they blow a grandmother-y load.
Alright, enough Dane Cook quotes. :P
game on!
