Believe it or not, according to a latest survey, rapper Eminem is more popular than American president Barack Obama.

In what way? Well, a known social network aggregator recently conducted a survey about the world’s most popular celebrity ‘dad’. Eminem (who has a 16-year-old daughter and has adopted two girls) came out on top of the list, beating the likes of Barack Obama and Homer Simpson.

He is very popular with the younger lot and does things which make him endearing to them. A couple of weeks back, he actively promoted a Nintendo game.

There you go, he likes kids. Only if his songs are tad more intelligible to children!
