Line 118:
* Variation with [[Rammstein]]: One of the (if not ''the'') world's most famous [[Industrial Metal]] bands, with sold-out concerts in many parts of the world... yet they can't catch a break in their native Germany. As Paul Landers, their rhythm guitarist, said:
{{quote|''"We have such a bad reputation in Germany it can’t get any worse elsewhere."''}}
* Former [[Canadian Politics|Canadian Prime Minister]] Pierre Trudeau
* Singer Anastasia is much more popular in Europe and Asia than her native America, so much so that you'd probably be hard-pressed to find someone in America who's heard of her.
* The British Prime Minister [[Margaret Thatcher]] is internationally respected as an important stateswomen. [[Time Magazine]] even listed her among the most influential people of the 20th century. In the United Kingdom however she is hardly popular at all and even hated by most of the Britons. Her government is not held in high esteem compared to other British Prime Ministers. In a list of the 100 Worst Britons she was number 3 (compare this to her position in the list with 100 Greatest Britons: 16).
** YMMV. Plenty of people around the world regard Thatcher as badly as most Britons. Arguably worse.
* The same goes for [[Mikhail Gorbachev]], who is internationally respected for his reforms in the former USSR, which brought the [[Cold War]] to an end. Yet in Russia itself he is not held in high esteem because the poverty rate of his country didn't diminish after the USSR fell. And some older Russians feel that they lost a their global greatness after the mighty Soviet Union collapsed.
