Ubisoft is not really a “Canadian company” as far as I am concerned, they have Canadian employees, which is nice I suppose, but they’re a French company. At least it’s not American, but I prefer when the owners at least nominally live here so as much of my dollars go back into my own country as possible. Lots of great indie games out there, I guess if you can’t live without AAA games then maybe Ubisoft is one of the better choices, but I think it’s preferable when we can support our locally-owned indie studios instead. I’m tired of being pillaged for profit by foreign companies.

The implication is typically that they’re popular with guys. ie, they’re physically attractive to the opposite sex, they are sex symbols. That’s really what it’s all about. It’s not a two-way label, it doesn’t mean the attraction is necessarily returned. Although it is often assumed and commonly leads to people accusing them of being “sluts” despite not being justified. But on its own it just means that they are the object of desire of many boys: they probably have many suitors, lots of people want to ask them to the dance, etc. That is the way they are considered “popular”.
