Poll: Shakira, Pique voted Spain's most nauseating couple


You have to love the age-old journalism tactic of listing: 5 Things to Wear at a Concert; Top 10 Reasons to Wear a Bikini; 8 Reasons to Honeymoon in Vegas. ... But did you ever want to know who might have the dubious distinction of being called Most Nauseating?

It's likely no one wants to make that list, but a pair that features regularly in our blogosphere has "earned" that distinction -- and not by us.

In a poll conducted by Spanish news agency EFE, Colombian pop diva Shakira and her Spanish soccer player boyfriend Gerard Piqué win the unflattering moniker for their very public relationship, in all its incarnations.

Written about almost constantly since their relationship was even made public, Shakira and Pique's romance has been well-documented, even going as far as talking about -- and clothed images and video of -- Pique's erection at an airport before his girlfriend was set to arrive.

Then there was a trip to Israel, in which both were photographed while she was at a humanitarian conference...sightings in restaurants, at which a media frenzy occurred, and a hefty price tag set, for the first photo exclusive of the pair together. It has seemed that at times the couple have even toyed with the media, as they play peekaboo behind closed doors, where no one but them has access to fans.

Yes, the pair dominated poll results, with an estimated 73 percent of respondents choosing the couple at the most likely to make you hurl. And why has the public soured?

The overflow of photographs posted on their Twitter and Facebook pages was one indication. Apart from posing nude or leg-locked in steamy sex, we've seen the couple in every position, so to speak. Almost predictable and incessant public displays of affection also assured the couple a very comfortable lead over the other finalists.

Bringing up the very bottom of the top 3 list of noxious Spaniard pairs was Spanish goalie Iker Casillas and sports presenter Sara Carbonero at 11 percent, and Academy Award-winning duo Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem with 4.9 percent.

Perhaps not all of us like to see a happy couple, at least not so often.
